Google Preview: This text examines late-1990s evidence of which methods are the most successful forms of intervention when working with children and their families. It covers a wide range of approaches and services, with particular emphasis on methods designed to help children with identified problems. After discussing the principles, designs and debates associated with ideas of effectiveness and evidence, the text evaluates 1990s practice in child and family work, including: early years provision, family mediation, child and adolescent psychiatry, treatment for children who have been sexually abused, and work with foster children and their families.; Effective professional intervention in children's lives, Malcolm Hill; working with families in the early years, Helen Roberts and Geraldine MacDonald; working with family networks, Robbie Gilligan; community work with children, Paul Henderson; social learning approaches to work with children and families, David Gough; family mediation involving children, Margaret Robinson; family therapy, Arlene Vetere; educational services for children with emotional or behavioural difficulties, Gwynedd Lloyd and Pamela Munn; youth work, Simon Bradford; child and adolescent psychiatry services, Joanne Barton; treatment of children who have been sexually abused, Kathleen Murray; work with foster children and their families, David Berridge; work with children in residential care and their families, Roger Bullock; towards effective ways of working with children and their families, Malcolm Hill.; The reviewer found this book to be valuable, particularly for students and practitioners who want concise overviews of some of the major areas of intervention in children's lives. While many of the contributiors could not go into enormous depth, nonetheless the various chapters do signpost very important issues and reference major studies which should guide best practice... If readers take the time to look at less familiar areas they will not be disappointed. If this occurs the volume can truly be said to have been effective in deepening the reader's knowledge of and respect for other practitioners and their clients.; Google Preview content
