Residential treatment can be a path to healing or a revolving door.
Make the program you're involved with as effective as possible For
a number of years, many mental health professionals, public
interest groups, and child advocates have been pressing for the use
of increasingly time-limited (short-term) models of residential
treatment and psychotherapy for children and adolescents. Yet the
children who are most often referred for residential care are
clearly more emotionally disturbed than in years past. They have
more extensive backgrounds of social failure and often have
dysfunctional or barely existent families. The Forsaken Child
confronts this dilemma. These essays on the delivery of group care
and individual treatment services for young people present an
argument for the preservation of thoughtful, humanistic forms of
residential treatment. In The Forsaken Child: Essays on Group Care
and Individual Therapy, you'll find well-thought-out discussions
of: Anna Freud's altruistic devotion to providing group care for
the infant and child victims of World War I bombings in London,
with descriptions of important parallels between her observations
of the young war victims in her care and the experiences of
abandoned, neglected, and abused children in American cities today
the historical foundations of milieu treatment and an examination
of persisting issues the humane concerns of the early founders of
residential care vs. the present-day objectivist climate a
long-term case study of a young child in residential care
highlighting a number of clinical issues which contraindicate the
use of either brief therapy techniques or short-term group care how
an interactive, social-constructionist treatment approach helped an
adolescent boy in residential care achieve psychological growth and
a sense of optimism about the futureThe Forsaken Child will be of
significant help to residential facility administrators in
longer-range program planning and to social workers and other
clinicians who cope with the daily clinical issues that arise in
group and individual treatment settings.
