Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Major changes are happening in child and adolescent therapy. The contexts in which the work is done, the range of problems tackled, and the models of intervention adopted are all in flux. This book is an overview of current developments. It presents diverse practice in multiple settings; it looks at the changing agenda for therapy, and the evaluation of interventions. It explores the challenges in play therapy, with non-speaking children, for the management of trauma, in child abuse, bullying and school phobia. In terms of settings, contributors cover the residential therapeutic community, the child guidance clinic, multidisciplinary approaches to support the school, and therapy in the community. In general, it reflects the excitement (and confusions) in current child and adolescent therapy, and is an important resource for trainee and practising professionals in, for instance, social work, the health services, therapy and counselling, educational psychology and special educational needs.
