Description
Presenting practical psychotherapeutic strategies grounded in research and theory, this integrative book addresses the needs of child clients who have been physically, sexually, or emotionally abused or neglected. Well-illustrated with case examples, the volume reviews the developmental effects of abuse and neglect and explores the implications of attachment theory for individual work with maltreated children. Chapters cover assessment and intervention approaches; ways to enlist families, foster-families, and teachers in the healing process; and the dynamics of the therapeutic relationship.
