Product Description

Product Description

We use the word all the time, but what exactly is self-esteem, and how do young people develop it? "Feeling Like Crap" explores how a young person's self is constructed, and what might help that self to feel more valued and confident. Through accounts of his individual and group work with six young people, Nick Luxmoore demonstrates how listening to, engaging with and being respectful of young people can provide the support they need to help them repair their sense of self and offer them new possibilities and directions in life.When Grace was three, her parents split up and she went to live with her father while her sister stayed with their mother. Allie has slipped behind with her school work since falling out with her best friend, and any positive feelings about himself that Conor may have dared to develop have been beaten out of him by his father.This compassionate and thought-provoking book will be an invaluable resource for counsellors, teachers, youth workers, and anyone else working to help young people with self-esteem issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Feeling Like Crap, 3 May 2009
By M. G. Johnston-price "Mikele" (Somerset) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having read Working with Anger and Young people I was looking forward to reading this book.I wasn't dissapointed. I found Nick Luxmore's insight into the young people he introduced the reader to throughout this book to be extremely helpful to me as a counsellor working with a similar age group. It can be so easy for adults to give a 'knee jerk' reaction to a young person's angry comments; but Nick Luxmore responds to their current needs with patience, insight and compassion. I felt particularly sad for the young asylum seekers who have had their previous live literally wiped away and alone in a strange country stuggle with our education system only to find that their application to stay in this country has been rejected.
I found the groupwork and games particularly helpful and they worked with spectacular results with a group of young people I have been working with recently Buy it!.

5.0 out of 5 stars An insightful, moving, thought-provoking book, 15 Oct 2009
Feeling Like Crap: Young People and the Meaning of Self-esteem

I couldn't put this book down because it was fascinating, mainly because the theoretical content was backed up by lively, touching recollections of interviews with the young people the author sought to liberate...

Reading this book served to deepen my understanding of young people. It gives a valuable insight into the difficulties they sometimes have to cope with and how this is individually manifested, hence the complexity of the author's task. The author clearly has a profound understanding of young people as well as an affection for them, which he shares with the reader to an infectious degree!
