An honest insight into the messy reality of therapeutically parenting teenagers.
 
Award-winning columnist and adoptive parent Sally Donovan offers savvy, compassionate advice on how to be 'good enough' in the face of both day-to-day and more bewildering
challenges - such as drug use, social media and child to parent violence, while helping develop and nurture a teenager through to adulthood.
 
Full of affecting and hilarious stories drawn from life in the Donovan household, The Unofficial Guide to Therapeutic Parenting offers parents a refreshing counterblast to stuffy
parenting manuals -- read it, weep, laugh and learn.
Sally pulls no punches in this insightful, compassionate and beautifully-written book. The honesty and sensitivity with which she describes the experiences of parenting teenagers who have experienced trauma will profoundly resonate with many. Compelling, validating, tough and yet uplifting, its authenticity is firmly rooted in experience. Parents/ carers - I strongly suggest you read this book as an exercise in the self-care that Sally so wisely advocates for. Professionals - this is a fantastic resource. I strongly recommend a read [or three]!
