Not only an instructive handbook for those in any way contemplating counselling... it is warmly funny and respectful of the spirit of Grahame's novel. If he had written his own sequel he might have ended it like this one. - Jan Mark, Times Educational Supplement For anyone wishing to know something about transactional analysis this is a clear and very readable introduction. - The Friend This engaging pastiche of Kenneth Grahame's riverbank classic... manages to be not only instructive and, at times, extremely amusing, but also to remain remarkably faithful to the cheery, bucolic spirit of the original... extremely enjoyable. - Paul Sussman, in the Independent on Sunday An imaginative attempt to explain the counselling process... the idea of counselling is all around, but this demystified it wittily. - Openmind A delightful book which... offers a gentle introduction to transactional analysis and much more. - Relate News A clever intertwining of the tale of Toad and the intricate thought processes behind the science of counselling... a classic journey of discovery, triumph and pain. - Book of the Day, Glasgow Herald Counselling for Toads is a joy. Not just because it is an extremely clever Kenneth Grahame pastiche, but because it actually explains counselling as a method of dealing with psychological distress with admirable clarity. You'll want to read The Wind in the Willows again after this version of the story - and you'll read it with new eyes. - Claire Rayner
