Leah S. Subotnik, Ed.D.;
illustrated by Suzanne Hankins
The seven stories in
this book address various problems that children may experience--being
abandoned by a parent, the loss of a sibling, parental divorce, social
isolation, adoption in middle childhood, and low self-esteem. Each story
uses a metaphor to help the child find new ways of dealing with his or her
situation, and each indirectly suggests that the child has the resources
within to survive current difficulties and have a happy life.
Written for children in
psychotherapy, these stories are sufficiently "disguised" ("long ago" or "in
another land") that the child's defenses are not raised. The messages,
received on a deep, unconscious level, can play an important part in healing
emotional injuries. A brief guide for therapists and parents is included.
