Counselling For Toads

An amazing little book in terms of child abuse therapy is one called Counselling For Toads by Robert de Board IBSN 978-0-415-17429-9. It covers counselling of adults relating to dealing with abuse suffered as a child, but interestingly it does it all through a metaphor of animals not humans discussing the issues that arise. It's another play on Toad of Toad Hall and other animals.

I am all in favour of encouraging any medium which encourages individuals at any age to revisit their childhood and face out the unresolved issues which they have lived with ever since. Recovery is achievable!
