Well, it only to a year but I finally finished this amazing training manual and I managed to get a passing grade for every quiz. I was privileged to attend a conference last year where Dr. Ginsburg spoke which prompted me to buy this material in the first place. Through his professional experiences and research, Ginsberg has developed some great perceptions and strategies for effectively dealing with teens while simultaneously encouraging their personal resilience. Not only was this manual a great source for training, but it will be a great resource for me to refer back to for years to come.
