Counseling Children and Adolescents focuses on relationship building and creating a deep level of understanding of developmental, attachment, and brain-based information. "Byrd and Luke have created a meaningful text focused on strengths-based approaches with an emphasis on multicultural sensitivity and social justice. At the heart of this book is respect and admiration for child and adolescent clients and for reaching an often-underserved population." - Bradley T. Erford, PhD, professor in the Department of Human Development Counseling at Peabody College at Vanderbilt University and former president of the American Counseling Association "Master's level counselor education programs primarily prepare counselors to work with adults. In this comprehensive book, the experienced authors do a masterful job of teaching counselors how to use a strengths-based approach when counseling children and adolescents." - Theodore P. Remley, Jr, contributing faculty member in the PhD program in counselor education and supervision at Walden University and professor of counseling at the University of Holy Cross "This long-awaited textbook resonates with me. It imparts extensive wisdom and knowledge, sustains a strengths-based lens throughout its chapters, instills hopes, and promotes growth for child clinicians and clinicians to be." - Yumiko Ogawa, PhD, associate professor at the Department of Counselor Education at New Jersey City University
