Beskrivning
Children and Adolescents in Trauma presents a variety of creative approaches to working with young people in residential children's homes, secure or psychiatric units, and special schools. The contributors describe a wide range of approaches, including art therapy and literature, and how creative methods are applied in cases of abuse, trauma, violence, self-harm and identity development. They discuss the impact of abuse and mistreatment upon the mental health of 'looked after' children, drawing links between psychoanalytic theory and practice and the study of literature and the arts. This indispensable book provides useful insights and a fresh perspective for anyone working with traumatised children and adolescents, including social workers, psychotherapists, arts therapists, psychiatrists, counsellors, psychologists and students in these fields.

Recensioner i media

This book makes an important contribution to our understanding of children who are looked after and accommodated and who, because of traumatic childhood experiences, can present with difficult and often damaging behaviours... In a world which sometimes seems dominated by manuals and medication, it is encouraging to see discussion which embraces the uncertainty of working with young people and a willingness to question the practitioner’s own motivation and the impact of their own past experiences... The book should be read by those working with young people in any residential setting, and would be of value to any professionals who are working with children affected by trauma.
