Description

Abstract: The book is about skilled and understanding adults talking with children and youth who are in crisis. Life space intervention is a crisis intervention strategy with long-term benefits and involves the adult learning to see the crisis through the eyes of the youth, which allows for greater empathy, support, realistic problem solving, and behavioral self-control.
