Beskrivning

This book shows how carefully planned and assessed treatment can help traumatized children. It outlines how to set up a process for measuring a child's progress towards recovery. Uniquely, the book describes a practical outcomes-based approach that can be provided by an integrated multi-disciplinary team.Particular themes addressed include the conflict between the child's chronological and emotional ages, the need to work at the child's pace, the importance of the whole-team approach, and the challenges involved in measuring progress. The authors describe clearly defined outcomes for recovery, how children are assessed and how recovery plans are made, and show how progress can be closely monitored and responded to through the continuing process of assessment. An in-depth case study is used to show how this works in practice.This book forms part of an integrated approach and is an ideal accompaniment to existing titles in the SACCS `Delivering Recovery' series.

Recensioner i media

When this title was suggested to me for review I was expecting a dense doorstep-deep book to arrive in my pigeon hole. Imagine my pleasure to see Tomlinson andPhilpot's 160-page slimline publication with a nice friendly font inside... The authors' language is clear; concepts are well explained and introduced... for the practitioner or manager working within residential care with traumatised children, this book will provide a good introduction for new staff and a point of reflection for 'older hands'.
