This book is an excellent guide for any professional who wants to facilitate open­ness and demystification. This book guides and inspires professionals and parents alike to enter conversations that create a new relationship between children and parents, characterized by trust.

 

Dr. Elspeth McAdam, Child Psychiatrist Benedicte Schilling, Clinical Child- and Family Psychologist and Simon Burton, Systemic Psychotherapist:
“For the professionals Karen has developed a different and poten­tially very important new approach breaking some of the more conventional ways of work­ing with families when one of the parents has a mental illness.”

"Karen Glistrup’s book provides wonderful insights into the significance of speaking with children about what is actually happening.

When a family is faced with life’s challenges, or are living with mental illness in the family, professional therapy, that puts words to the experiences and feelings which arise, soothe the child.

The book is filled with excellent examples, which cause the reader to think: Of course, we should not stay silent about what is meaningful to children.

The book warrants my best recommendation. Read it!"
