Synopsis

Written by a collaborative team from schools of education and health care, this text advocates a multidisciplinary and child-centred approach to the study of, and provision for, childhood. As such, it will be an invaluable resource to the study of childhood for health care professionals (especially nurses and social workers), and also for student teachers. Undergraduates studying Childhood Studies and nurses following the Child Branch of Project 2000 courses will find this book essential reading. Much recent research and reflection on the experiences of children, families, and professionals ardently recommends this multi-agency commitment and this book will be the first to be written by a multi-professional team. The book looks at child development, images of childhood, children learning, measuring children, the family, children and violence and children at risk. Each chapter is written by a lead author from a particular professional discipline and co-authored by two contributing writers from different educational or professional backgrounds. As such, each chapter is truly inter-disciplinary and multi-professional in approach.
