When Love Is Not Enough relates how a multitude of factors--the
competence of staff; the safety, nurturing, and protective elements
of the emotional, physical, and political setting; and all overt
and covert organizational dynamics--determine whether or not a
treatment setting accomplishes its therapeutic aims. Authors in
When Love Is Not Enough continue the emphasis on the
group-as-a-whole "Group Relation" model of organizational and group
processes begun with Wilfred Bion's work at the Tavistok Clinic in
London in the 1940s. This model helps those providing services to
children and adolescents evaluate their treatment programs and make
the necessary changes toward improvement.Chapters in When Love Is
Not Enough are dedicated to improving the psychological treatment
of children and adolescents in postmodern society, a society in
which life in interdependent communities is becoming increasingly
important for the health and survival of all persons. Topics
covered include: the Tavistok approach to understanding group and
organizational behavior the emphasis on group-as-a-whole in problem
solving and treatment design narrowing the gap between plan and
outcome the dynamics involved in the psychiatric treatment of
children issues of staff selection, training, and development in
programs designed to treat children countertransference responses
in the treatment of children and adolescents revitalizing
organizations the subjective experience of school lifeWhen Love Is
Not Enough helps organizations realize the ways in which they may,
inadvertently, undermine the emotional and cognitive functioning of
the staff or the identified patients and set serious limits on the
growth of members of the organization, staff and patients alike. It
urges organizations to conduct an ongoing self-scrutiny concerning
their rational and irrational processes, as this self-examination
is crucial to the health and vitality of the treatment offered to
others. The book also promotes thinking of the conscious and
unconscious dynamics of the group-as-a-whole to more completely
inform organizational decisions concerning changes that may enhance
the treatment of children and adolescents.When Love Is Not Enough
serves as an invaluable guide for mental health professionals who
treat children and adolescents, group therapists, hospital and
clinic administrators, psychoanalysts, nurses, social workers,
psychologists, and psychiatrists.
