BOOK REVIEWS
Dr. Whetstone’s How To Get Togetherness is as delightful, serious, and playful as his seminars; as he is himself. He sees life as encounters that hold the opportunity for empathy. He offers you explanations, understandings, and examples. Vivid scenes illuminate relationships. He invites you to say, “That’s ME! That’s US! That’s how it works! Let’s try the positive scene together and see what happens.” His optimism is contagious. Dr. Whetstone is a gifted family and school psychologist. He has a remarkable history of helping parents, teachers, and communities work, reflect, and enjoy together. Read the first few pages, and you know you converse with a pro. -David Mallery, Director of Professional Development, National Association of Independent Schools, Consultant to schools in the U.S., Europe, and the Far East, Philadelphia, PA

Dr. Whetstone is the best psychologist I know. He has a great skill for listening and sensing. How To Get Togetherness comes from his over 30 years of experience as a therapist for families and youth, and as a consultant for educators. Dr. Whetstone focuses on the systems of relationships that we all experience in our families and working world. He illuminates the subtle patterns of our interactive communication in ways that help us see ourselves and that encourage us to experiment with change. Read it, use it, write in the margins, and flag pages for future reference. Sit at the kitchen table and open the book with your family. Read a section and discuss the parts that apply. Do the same in your classroom. Written in plain English, you sense his warmth and humor, his pragmatic approaches, and most importantly his caring soul dedicated to building quality relationships.
-Dr. Dwight Webb, Professor, Graduate Program in Counseling, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH

Dr. Whetstone's How to Get Togetherness is the epitome of a well-written, practical guide to addressing the needs of AD/HD, oppositional, and emotionally challenged youth. The most unique quality is that Dr. Whetstone addresses relationships from educational, familial, and therapeutic points of view. The reader can relate to the real-life situations, and immediately apply the recommendations. I have found How To Get Togetherness to be the most practical and complete guide to improving relationships in the realm of behavior and communication difficulties. -Dr. Jason Holder, Director, Adventurelore Counseling, Danville, NH |
