This book explains the unique insights that child observation can
bring to practice with children and families and helps the reader
develop their own skills in this approach. The ability to observe
and to process what is seen is crucial in social work with children
and families. Yet successive inquiries into child deaths have
demonstrated the problems faced by professionals in doing what is
superficially a very straightforward task, highlighting the
difficulties in seeing, thinking about and developing an
understanding of the child's experience. This book helps readers to
develop an understanding of what is entailed in observation,
explaining the unique insights that child observation can bring to
practice with children and families. By drawing out relevant
theoretical concepts it aids their understanding of what they are
observing and so helps them to develop their own skills. Key
theoretical concepts are brought together from developmental
psychology and psychoanalytic thinking in a way that enables
practitioners to draw on these to inform and enrich their thinking.
Useful case studies are presented which practitioners can relate to
their own practice when they are struggling to make sense of
difficult situations.
