The editors of this volume are committed to the philosophy of
treating emotionally disturbed children in the life milieu. Both
have been intensely involved in training "online" therapists--child
care workers. They are convinced that there is no one "right way"
in milieu treatment, and propose a electric model for
treatment.
Like many of the other writers included in this book, Whittaker
and Trieschman conceive of treatment as a total life experience. Th
ey do not see the individual versus the group, but the individual
within the group situation. They also do not see permissiveness
versus limitations, professional staff versus nonprofessional
staff, or the institution versus an outside of the community.
The book is divided into two sections: the fi rst is a dialogue
between the editors on current issues in residential treatment and
problems in treating children. The second is a collection of
readings. This is one of the first sourcebooks covering the
therapeutic milieu for children in residential treatment centers,
specifi cally emotionally disturbed children. It is also an
excellent text for courses on the emotionally disturbed child,
milieu treatment, and child welfare.
