Synopsis
Are special therapy techniques available for treating problem children? If so, what are the most effective forms of therapy? Applied in focus and written by practitioners who have worked with problem children for three decades, this practical volume offers an integrated approach to the treatment of problem children. Beginning with a clear introduction outlining concepts of treatment, issues of practice, and resources for treatment, the authors continue by presenting an encyclopedic survey of methods of treatmentùfrom medication through behavior modification and social skills training to talking and group therapy approaches. Finally, a unique manual for daily use is provided to assist the practitioner in identifying the aims, methods, and techniques of treatment for a wide range of conditions including psychological difficulties, anti-social behavior, and improving social skills. Treating Problem Children is an indispensable guide for psychologists, social workers, mental health professionals, teachers, probation officers, nurses and indeed anyone who deals with problem children.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Treating Problem Children provides a comprehensive view of childrens problems and how they can be treated. The authors present an integrated approach in language that is readily accessible to professional and lay people alike. Although there is a huge and complex industry concerned with the treatment of childrens problems, its hallmarks are lack of focus, poor accountability and often uncertain or damaging outcomes. The authors of this volume, who between them have spent several decades working with disturbed children, aim to remedy this. They show that it is possible to develop a comprehensive discipline for the practice of treatment which views a child as an integrated whole rather than as a collection of problems to be dealt with piecemeal by physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists, teachers and social workers. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR004651410
