Love Bombing

Review:

Finally something that works that doesn't involve shouting, screaming or the tiresome 'naughty step'! Love Bombing is a more pleasurable, interesting and intelligent way of getting any parent-child relationship back on track. --Imogen Edwards-Jones, Daily Mail columnist, award winning journalist, broadcaster, novelist and screenwriter, best known for the Babylon series of exposés

'Love Bombing': the best of care made possible and funky. --Camila Batmanghelidjh, founder of The Place2Be and Kids Company

Oliver James occupies a pre-eminent position in the field of psychology and mental health. Whether writing about teenage violence, or dementia, or the roots of personality, Dr James approaches his subject with a unique combination of rigour and accessibility - a rare quality among health care professionals. In his latest book, 'Love Bombing: Reset Your Child's Emotional Thermostat', one can see why James has become Great Britain's best-selling psychological author. A friend to all parents, Oliver James has developed a creative, sensible, and effective method for helping parents to improve their relationships with their children. A brilliant antidote to the many punitive and prescriptive child-rearing manuals which dominate the shelves of our bookshops, Dr James encourages parents to love and respect their children with real compassion and understanding. His concept of the 'emotional thermostat' deserves a prize. This book has the potential to transform the fabric of family life. --Professor Brett Kahr, Senior Clinical Research Fellow in Psychotherapy and Mental Health at the Centre for Child Mental Health, London, and Honorary Visiting Professor in the School of Arts at Roehampton University, London
