With 20 years of experience as a clinical psychologist Dr Jari Evertsz has built supportive methods which clarify the problem set for families. Her work with violent offenders, at-risk children and hundreds of everyday families has helped her forge simple tracks which help teens move out of hostility and isolation towards their real selves. A national award-recipient in the anti-violence field, she (like you) doesn’t accept that conflict and disruption should be an everyday feature of family life. Use this book and find your way back to the fun, love and connection with your teenaged children that your whole family deserves.
