520$aWritten in simple terms this therapeutic storybook can be integrated into either directed or non-directed therapies. It is designed to introduce the condition of auditory and visual hallucinations into the treatment room in a non-threatening manner, encouraging child-clients to express their feelings and struggles associated with their hallucinatory experiences, while reassuring them that other children also experience this phenomenon. This book can also provide perspective and understanding about the condition to parents, siblings, and extended family members, as well as to other professionals such as educators, health care professionals, social workers, probation officers and lawyers.
520$aSusie is a 9-year-old who keeps her challenges with auditory and visual hallucinations a secret until a teacher alerts her parents of her difficulties at school. With compassion, empathy, love and understanding, Susie's parents encourage her to see a counselor. Susie builds trust and rapport with her counselor, which finally allows her to share her well-guarded secret. After divulging what has been troubling her for years, with her counselor's help, she discovers that she is not the only one in the world who struggles with voices. Susie then introduces readers to four other children of different ethnicities, ages, backgrounds, talents and interests who also hear voices. All of the children share with readers their challenges with voices and personal life circumstances that contributed to them hearing voices. Then they go on to speak about their personal choices regarding what role they want voices to have in their lives and how counselors helped them achieve their individual goals.
