Reviews
'This timely second edition of Haim Omer's seminal book presents the accessible and superbly thoughtful method. It shows not only the underlying principles and core methodology of the approach, but also its new directions and applications. It is essential reading for any professional working with children, young people, and families.' Peter Jakob, Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Systemic Family Therapist Director, PartnershipProjects UK Ltd
'Introducing the ideas and the practice of non-violent resistance into therapy and counseling profoundly changes our perspective on escalating interactions. Here we have one of the rare innovations in our field. It provides tools to help people without getting stuck in wicked struggles of win or lose.' Arist von Schlippe, Witten Institute for Family Business (WIFU) Foundation, Germany
'This is a most impressive development of concepts and practices introduced in the first edition of this important classic. Particularly inspiring are the novel ways in which Haim Omer applies the NVR approach to social systems, such as schools and communities. It is essential reading for parents and therapists alike!' Eia Asen, Psychiatrist and Systemic Therapist, Anna Freud Centre and University College London
