Following on the heels of Volume 1, this volume brings us once again the engaging menagerie of characters to help --and entertain--children challenged by a wide variety of issues. Although each full illustrated story contains a therapeutic message, it never interferes with the 'storyness' of the tale. Instead, the embedded message slips easily into the child's subconscious, while smiles and giggles preoccupy his or her awareness. For the clinician, the metaphors offer a treasure trove of techniques and hypnotic language that can be adapted for a variety of situations and problems. The 35 stories cover: Anxiety, fears and phobias, habit disorders, pain, as well as other problems such as sleeping problems, ADHD, depression, bullies, and much more.
