This Child of Mine : A Therapist's Journey

Anyone who works or identifies with children will want this book.

Child psychologist Martha Wakenshaw shares her 15 years as a child therapist, telling the stories of the many lives that have touched her.

It is a deeply personal account of treating abused and neglected children, helping them to recover while she deals with state agencies too overwhelmed to respond, insurance companies that give ten session to "fix" them, therapist burnout, and ghosts from her own childhood.Each story is a love song to the child.

It is as much powerful social statement as heart-wrenching inspiration.
