Insisting that it is possible to set aside authority without abdicating responsibility, professionals in social services, child protection, law, research, education, hospitals, and voluntary organizations share their interactions with children in a wide range of contexts and media. They focus on what is special about listening to children as the core of a skilled, reflective, yet active relationship. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknew.com)
