Another brilliant book by Betsy de Thierry. Shame is such a crucial area and emotion, however one that is often overlooked. Therefore it is great to see a book that offers a deeper understanding and practical ideas for support around shame. This book is written in an accessible, engaging, and informative way. The doodles and reflective questions are fantastic too. A welcome addition to any book shelf! -Karen Treisman Thorough, underpinned by extensive researched and well articulated.  de Thierry manages to write a short guide about shame, a challenging task but one very well executed.

For parents, educators, therapists and social workers, this guide is an essential starting point pulling together all the latest knowledge, research and experience.  -Lisa Cherry, BA (Hons) Sociology, ITEC Dip HM, S.A.C.
