Through imagework, children can be helped to develop their natural image-making capacity, and to use this to meet and overcome the challenges they face in life. Using Interactive Imagework with Children is an introduction and practical guide to working interactively with children's natural imaginative abilities in order to encourage creative thinking, higher self-esteem and effective stress management. While suitable for use with children who are experiencing some form of stress in their lives, it is emphasized that all children can learn to use their imaginations in a constructive way that will contribute to happier and more creative lives as they grow to adulthood. Deborah Plummer outlines a theoretical framework for using imagework with children, and presents seven practical sessions for use with individuals or groups. The sessions, which cover areas such as friendships, confidence and anxiety, each comprise an introductory phase, imagework and expansion activities. Through group participation children will also have the opportunity to develop social skills, including active listening, discussion, turn-taking, respecting the ideas of others and working co-operatively.
