Reviews
Hendry and Hasler demonstrate how creative processes are interlaced with the neurodevelopmental lens of trauma, woven together by many hands of therapists, carers, professionals, organisations and schools. What emerges is an intricate tapestry with which children who have experienced trauma may be held, understood, and enjoyed, enabling new ways of relating and living in the world.
