Reviews

Preston Smith, Dean of Medicine, University of Saskatchewan:

“The Tales That Bind describes what is unique about rural helping careers. The book is directed to both teachers and learners, and is written in such a way that it will be helpful to both.”

John H. Young, School of Religion, Queen's University:
“Building upon research done over the past several decades on the importance of narrative and story, The Tales that Bind applies these theories to Canadian rural realities. A contribution to an area where relatively little has been published, this book will be a highly useful read for professionals who are working, or wish to work, in rural settings.”
