A Child's Journey to Recovery: Assessment and Planning with Traumatized Children
by Terry Philpot Patrick Tomlinson Mary WalshThis 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.
A Child's Mind: How Children Learn During the Critical Years from Birth to Age Five Years (Routledge Library Editions: Psychology of Education)
by Muriel BeadleOriginally published in 1970, parents and teachers were beginning to realise how very much earlier in life human intelligence develops than was previously thought. A child’s experience in its pre-school years largely determines its future academic progress; and environment and parental influence play a very great part in this. The author describes the steps by which children develop mentally and emotionally, and the scholarly and experimental work that had been done in this field to date. The book was thought to be an eye-opener for most parents at the time (to be put beside ‘Spock’) and for all child psychologists a fascinating review of recent work.

A Child's Right to a Healthy Environment (The Loyola University Symposium on the Human Rights of Children #1)
by James Garbarino Garry SigmanIt's a startling reality that more American children are victims--and perpetrators--of violence than those of any other developed country. Yet unlike the other nations, the United States has yet to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Compelling, readable, and interdisciplinary, A Child's Right to a Healthy Environment provides an abundance of skilled observation, important findings, and keen insights to place children's well-being in the vanguard of human rights concerns, both in the United States and globally. Within this volume, authors examine the impediments to the crucial goals of justice, safety, dignity, well-being, and meaning in children's lives, factors as varied as socioeconomic stressors, alienated, disengaged parents, and corrosive moral lessons from the media. The complex role of religious institutions in promoting and, in many cases, curtailing children's rights is analyzed, as are international efforts by advocates and policymakers to address major threats to children's development, including: War and natural disasters.Environmental toxins (e.g., malaria and lead poisoning).The child obesity epidemic.Gun violence.Child slavery and trafficking.Toxic elements in contemporary culture.A Child's Right to a Healthy Environment is a powerful call to action for researchers and professionals in developmental, clinical child, school, and educational psychology as well as psychiatry, pediatrics, social work, general and special education, sociology, and other fields tasked with improving children's lives.

A Child's Voice
by Jeremy RoseMinette is a mouse in The Royal Courts of Justice whose forebears remember seeing Charles Dickens in the nineteenth century attending at Court One. Minette watches, sees, hears and relates all that goes on in the family courts, with the awful tragedies of people's lives and issues, especially affecting children. Minette is downcast by the accumulation of people's problems often caused by themselves and indeed with the behaviours of some of Her Majesty's Judges, but she has camaraderie with the other mice in the Royal Courts of Justice, as well as the mice at the Old Bailey and the mice of the Supreme Court, where they especially gather for receptions with many leftovers scattered on the carpets, taking, as they do, the number 19 bus along The Strand. But not all is sad, for Minette knows that some of Her Majesty's Judges are, nevertheless, aware and kindly regarding the very serious responsibilities that they own.
