I am really enjoying reading this book. It has been great to read something that strays from theory and presents a real life story. I think that Annie Rogers is an excellent writer and I like how she is slowly unfolding her own personal narrative as she tells the reader about her work with Ben. Ben reminds me of some of the children I used to work with many years ago when I was a residential counselor. I appreciate Annie's incredible patience with him and her staunch desire to help him. Despite the fact that her training seems to have been largely psychodynamic, she is willing to step out of the box and to follow Ben's lead with treatment. I like how she acknowledges (on pg. 20) that her "training isn't the only source" of her "knowledge."
