“Resilient Therapy gives unique and compelling voice to a vision for creating the means to promote healthy lives among all youth, even the most challenged and disadvantaged. This book provides a vital, timely, and empowering message of hope for all young people, parents, and practitioners.” – Richard M. Lerner, Director of Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development, Tufts University, USA

“Angie Hart and Derek Blincow’s Resilient Therapy is a much needed addition to the field of therapy. It brings to therapy a deep understanding of resilience theory and the passionate demonstration of how that theory can inform intervention at multiple levels. This is a politicized model of practice that addresses individual needs and the complexity of disadvantage that children confront. Front line practitioners will find here a magical, practical approach to therapy well informed by theory. This is an important resource for those working in multiple contexts with children facing numerous psychological and social challenges.” – Michael Ungar, Professor, School of Social Work, Dalhousie University, Canada
