She engages the reader from the outset, inviting them to develop those skills certain to promote strong relationships between parents and children. In this increasingly dangerous world, it is comforting to know there is a resource like How Can We Talk About That? to help. Mental health clinicians now have a reliable resource, both to expand their skill-base, as well as to share with the parents and children in their care. On a cautionary note, if you lend this book out you may not get it back! This book will be a parent's best friend, one we can turn to time and again for assistance.
