Treating Problem Children: Issues, Methods and Practice

by Masud S. Hoghughi

Treating Problem Children provides a comprehensive view of children's 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 children's 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 wit
