Windows To Our Children. Utah: Real People Press.
A real practitioner’s book. I’ve been referring back to this for the last 20 years. Full of ideas, creative approaches and moving accounts of her therapeutic work with children. Timeless.
Sunderland, M. & Engleheart, P. 1993.
Draw On Your Emotions. Bicester: Winslow
My favourite of all Margot Sunderland’s worksheet-style books. Does as it says on the box- you literally draw on the worksheets and begin a conversation through metaphor for a huge array of human feeling and dilemmas. This can be used with individuals, groups, and just as importantly, with the self. I always recommend that you try the worksheets yourself first - be a page ahead!
