Switching on the Light (Promoting Emotional Maturity) Spectrum Publishing 2002
In Switching on the Light Dulcie Stone asks us to accompany her on a personal learning journey which lead her to appreciate the powerful influences played by both 'positive' and 'negative' creativity in all our lives, and to the part positive creative experiences play in the promotion of emotional maturity. The book, which is FOR ALL ADULTS- parents, teachers, social workes- who work with children, is also of significance to those working with 'problem' children and adults.
Hilary McPhee: Vice Chancellor's Fellow "I did appreciate your writing and sending me your remarkable book." "Your work is of major importance" "The only other books I've seen on creativity and its place in society have been by American authors and not nearly as good."
