Therapeutic Residential Care For Children and Youth takes a fresh
look at therapeutic residential care as a powerful intervention in
working with the most troubled children who need intensive support.
Featuring contributions from distinguished international
contributors, it critically examines current research and
innovative practice and addresses the key questions: how does it
work, what are its critical "active ingredients" and does it
represent value for money? The book covers a broad spectrum of
established and emerging approaches pioneered around with world,
with contributors from the USA, Canada, Scandinavia, Spain,
Australia, Israel and the UK offering a mix of practice and
research exemplars. The book also looks at the research relating to
critical issues for child welfare service providers: the best time
to refer children to residential care, how children can be helped
to make the transition into care, the characteristics of children
entering and exiting care, strategies for engaging families as
partners, how the substantial cost of providing intensive is best
measured against outcomes, and what research and development
challenges will allow therapeutic residential care to be rigorously
compared with its evidence-based community-centered alternatives.
Importantly, the volume also outlines how to set up and implement
intensive child welfare services, considering how transferable they
are, how to measure success and value for money, and the training
protocols and staffing needed to ensure that a programme is
effective. This comprehensive volume will enable child welfare
professionals, researchers and policymakers to develop a refined
understanding of the potential of therapeutic residential care, and
to identify the highest and best uses of this intensive and
specialized intervention.
