Summary
Child psychiatrist Dr Mike Shooter sheds light on the painful issues and universal experience of growing up, through the stories of his patients and their families.
Growing up isn't easy. We can be at our most vulnerable and confused. And the right help isn't always there when we need it most. For over 40 years, psychiatrist Mike Shooter has listened to children and adolescents in crisis, helping them to find their stories and begin to make sense of their lives.
Mike Shooter's own life has been shaped by his battle with depression. It makes him question received wisdom. He knows labels won't always fit and one diagnosis will not work for all. His patients' stories are at the heart of this book. Mike Shooter shares their journeys as, through therapy, they confront everything from loss and family breakdown to bullying, grief and illness. We see how children begin to make breakthroughs with depression or anxiety and destructive, even sometimes violent behaviour.
Growing Pains is compelling and compassionate - a book to make us wiser and braver and to help us see how children's stories can find happier endings.

Highly recommended
Easy to listen to despite the tragedy behind some of the stories. We need more Mike Shooters working with children and young people.

Great book with deeply touching stories
Great book to reflect on psychology, sociology, communication and humanity. Every parent should read this and I would advice anyone else to do so too.
