Description
Written by two practising clinicians, this book is designed as a guide for those who work with children. In clear, simple language it focuses upon some of the most common, yet often incapacitating difficulties which are frequently encountered by young children and adolescents.
After introducing and discussing different forms of therapy and treatment used in clinical work with children, the book provides a series of chapters, each dealing with a specific difficulty. Drawing upon recent research findings, and employing detailed case illustrations, it seeks to help the reader to understand the nature of each problem and offers a guide as to how the child in difficulty can best be helped.
The book is designed to be of particular value to those working in education, social work, health and child-care settings, and anyone who needs to be able to recognize and help children in difficulty.

Reviews / Votes
'Its range is wide, covering areas as diverse as eating disorders and dyslexia, and the language is clear and simple ... Perhaps its greatest strength is in providing a basis for further exploration in a chosen area of work with children.' - Community Care'This book delivers the guide that it promises. Without doubt, the authors achieve the right balance of providing a depth of quality information without inviting a reader into attempting what might, professionally, be irresponsible ... it is a book that will promote competence and inspire confidence.' - Educational Psychology in Practice
'Packed with a vast wealth of up-to-date research information.' - Child and Family Social Work
