This book presents the results of researches conducted with
children and youth at risk for over 20 years in Brazil. It
addresses a series of topics related to children and youth living
in poverty or in situations of social vulnerability, such as
family, sexual and dating violence; adolescent mothers and mothers
who put their children for adoption; children and youth living in
foster and institutional care; and adolescents involved in drug
trafficking or incarcerated in juvenile detention centers. Building
upon the Bioecological Theory of Human Development, this volume
emphasizes the innovative knowledge about psychosocial development
of vulnerable children and youth produced in Brazil and aims to
present theoretical and methodological approaches developed
especially for the countries of the Global South, in an attempt to
overcome the scientific divide between the North and South.
Northern research agenda defines as global the theories,
methodologies, and application of knowledge on social policies and
interventions. However, the contexts, histories, and cultural
processes are essential for producing and applying research
knowledge according to specific regional characteristics,
organizations, and conditions. Human development is related to
contextual features and cannot be directly imported from one place
to another. Departing from these original theoretical and
methodological approaches, the book also presents the results of
evidence-based interventions, showing its effectiveness in specific
contexts. All of this makes Vulnerable Children and Youth in Brazil
- Innovative Approaches from the Psychology of Social Development a
valuable tool for psychologists, educators, social scientists and
public health professionals studying or working with children and
youth at risk in different parts of the world, contributing to the
understanding of human development in cultural context.
