£15.80£17.10 (-8%)
A Guide to Therapeutic Child Care provides an easy to read explanation of the secrets that lie behind good quality therapeutic child care.
It describes relevant theories, the ‘invisible’ psychological challenges that children will often struggle with and how to develop a nurturing relationship and build trust. Combining advice with practical strategies, the book also provides specific guidance on how to create safe spaces (both physical and relational) and how to aid the development of key social or emotional skills for children which may be lacking as a result of early trauma.
Written with input from foster carers, the book is an ideal guide for residential child care workers, foster carers, kinship carers, social workers and new adoptive parents.

Completely unusable, this author has no understanding of trauma or how to conduct positive relationships.
by Paul Williamson
This book not only provides insight into therapeutic care it inspires to reflect on cultural practices and look deeper into the challenges faced by disadvantaged, hurting children and those who provide their care.
by Judith Furnivall
This book should be given to every new foster care and residential child care worker as part of their induction training. It is beautifully written and makes complex ideas seem simple. It highlights so many of the important areas of life with distressed children that other books just seem to miss out. I have already given away several copies to people and will be buying more and distributing them widely! This is a classic in the making.
