Deborah Plummer demonstrates how we can draw upon the naturally abundant, unique and personal world of the imagination to enable children to cope with problems, gain confidence in themselves, or help them find ways to face the challenges in life. Deborah Plummer has written with parents, educationalists and therapists in mind; the book is equally accessible to all three groups. The author provides a series of guided imagework exercises that have the feeling and quality of fairy stories, creating an atmosphere of playful enquiry rather than therapeutic questioning. This gives children a framework within which to freely explore difficult issues, drawing on their own unconscious to arrive at resolutions which are congruent with their needs and wholly suited to them. Nothing is forced or imposed and, appropriately, throughout the process she suggests the child is encouraged to maintain control. This appears to keep the work uncomplicated and well within the bounds of safety. The instructions for the seven sessions, each and enchanting journey travelling in stages to the top of the Magic Mountain, are very clear, lovingly written and easy to follow. What makes this process unique and so interesting is the interactivity that takes place - the children finding they are able to enter into dialogue with the animals, plants, objects and people they meet on their journey, and receive help and insight from these different `image-beings'. … these exercises have arisen out of Deborah Plummer's own experience with children as a speech therapist and self-development trainer. She has arrived at a language that is perfect, managing to avoid patronising overtones. She intersperses the exercises with useful tips on how to proceed in individual and group sessions, and provides suggestions for expanding the process.
