Nick Luxmoore, author of Young People and the Curse of Ordinariness

NEW Book from Jessica Kingsley Publishers:

Young People and the Curse of Ordinariness.
By Nick Luxmoore.
http://www.jkp.com/catalogue/book/9781849051859

Using dozens of recognisable vignettes, Luxmoore explores young people's anxieties about ordinariness and extraordinariness, anxieties that affect everything: their behaviour, choices, relationships, happiness. He describes ways of working supportively and imaginatively with young people so that they can begin to find a better balance, enjoying their lives and achieving all sorts of things without losing sight of the fact that - underneath everything and like everyone else - they're ordinary, and there's nothing wrong with that.

This original and thought-provoking book will enable professionals in counselling, teaching, youth work and youth justice to support young people struggling with these anxieties
