Wisdom from the Streets

As a former teenage runaway on the streets of Seattle, Dr. Cecil writes about his true-life journey revealing the wisdom process needed to help both himself and others. Honest and often humorous, the book is written from two perspectives, both as the street kid and also as the therapist. It is a journey deep within a family therapist's own soul, and offers suggestions and encouragement to engage in the change process as we travel along our own path toward self-empowerment. In Wisdom from the Streets, Dr. Cecil offers wisdom and insight for: PARENTS who often feel frustrated and confused about how to have a good connection with their children at any age. TEENAGERS who often feel that no one listens or cares. ADULT CHILDREN OF DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILIES who have problems with relationships, feelings of failure, or just want to run away from it all. VICTIMS of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse.
