Summary: I'm Telling Everyone . . .
Review: As a pediatric RN at a midwestern children's hospital, I interact daily with children and families dealing with serious on-going illnesses. So, of course I was keenly interested in checking out Nancy Klein's "Healing Images..." resources. I now own my own set (book, CD, workbook) and am excited to have this opportunity to share my fierce passion for these materials!
When the onset of serious illness feels like an all-out attack on a child and his or her loved ones, Nancy Klein's book and related materials provide the effective counterattack armament to be used in conjunction with the medical treatment battle plan.
Here's a book built from profound compassion and filled with solid substance. Nancy's words and metaphor-stories are dynamically encouraging and soothingly nurturing for the ill child as well as their often overwhelmed family members and friends.
Aside from the goal of enhancing healing, this guide aims to imbue the healing journey with calmness, courage, and confidence. Ms. Klein hits the mark. The wonderful illlustrations by Matt Holden aptly support the cause.
This is an awesome resource for children, families, health care providers, and anyone who cares about someone with a serious illness! I'm telling everyone I can about this great book and the adjunct activity book and CD. I've personally purchased sets for several families in my community. Most of you, too, know of at least one family in the midst of a medical crisis. You may have been wondering what you can do. Know that such a child and family would desperately welcome and appreciate the huge heartfelt help that these materials deliver.
P.S. I love the stories! My favorites right now are "Soccer Victory," "A Turtle," and "Remote Control." Which are yours?

Summary: Essential for Child Psychotherapists & School Psychologists
Review: Nancy Klein clearly applies the best that trance and metaphor have to offer in assisting children and families confronted by cancer. Her unpretentious and direct self-instruction book serves as essential reading for any psychotherapist who wants to learn how to apply trance and metaphor as psychotherapy tools in life-threatening situations. Just as Milton E. Erickson's medical condition fueled his way of healing others, so also, Nancy Klein's medical history fuels her way of healing children and families. School Psychologists and Psychotherapists supporting children confronting serious medical conditions will value this book.
