Social psychologist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker Valerie Bradley-Holliday has created a professional trade reference for practitioners and students of social psychology. Using her own experience as a case study, she explores the mysteries faced by persons who find themselves in difficult situations.

In one way, the work is a self-help book for those seeking help, but for whom professional counseling is unavailable or personally rejected. The book offers a sympathetic and open view to others having domestic and social issues in youth and points the way to the reader to find comfort and eventual success.

As a trade book, a reader studying social psychology will certainly enjoy the vignettes that introduce each chapter and the case study the entire work offers. Further, the book provides a quick and attractive read that a professional can assign to clients and realistically expect the assigned task to be completed on time.

Similarly, the book will provide a useful companion to standard textbooks in college courses on social psychology.

Bradley-Hollidays experience with fiction, plus her careful approach to science, makes for a pleasant reading experience. This book will be an invaluable addition to any professional library.
