Hope for the Journey
Helping Children Through Good Times and Bad
by C. R. Snyder, Diane McDermott, William Cook, and Michael A. Rapoff
The authors-professional psychologists who work with children and families-believe that adults can help children build hope and combat hopelessness, and use stories that children construct about themselves to document the hope-building process. Included are two useful appendixes and a new introduction, in which the authors respond to readers’ questions and reactions to the original edition, which was published by Westview Press in 1997.
