Publisher Description:

Susan Perrow is a "story doctor." She writes, collects, and documents stories that offer a therapeutic journey for both the storyteller and listener--a positive, imaginative way of healing difficult situations.

Healing Stories for Challenging Behaviour gathers the fruits of Susan Perrow's work in story-making. It is richly illustrated with lively anecdotes from parents and teachers who have discovered how the power of story can help resolve a variety of common childhood behaviors and situations, including separation anxiety, bullying, sibling rivalry, nightmares, and grieving.

This comprehensive resource offers:

+ An overview of therapeutic storytelling
+ Checklists for readers to evaluate the challenging behavior or situation and identify their desired resolution
+ Guidelines for adapting stories for different age groups and cultures
+ An extensive collection of new stories and traditional folk tales categorized by behavior or situation
+ A story-making model to help the reader create stories directly relevant to their own circumstances.
