Children and young people in care who have been traumatized need a
therapeutic environment where they can heal and which meets their
emotional and developmental needs. This book provides a model of
care for traumatized children and young people, based on theory and
practice experience pioneered at the Lighthouse Foundation,
Australia. The authors explain the impact of trauma on child
development, drawing on psychodynamic, attachment and
neurobiological trauma theories. The practical aspects of
undertaking therapeutic care are then outlined, covering everything
from forming therapeutic relationships to the importance of the
home environment and daily routines. The book considers the
totality of the child's experience at the individual, group,
organization and community levels and argues that attention to all
of these is essential if the child is to achieve wellness. Case
material from both children and carers are used throughout to
illustrate both the impact of trauma and how children have been
helped to recovery through therapeutic care. This book will provide
anyone caring for traumatized children and young people in a
residential setting with both the understanding and the practical
knowledge to help children recover. It will be essential reading
for managers and decision-makers responsible for looked after
children, child care workers such as residential and foster carers,
youth workers, social workers, mental health workers and child
welfare academics.
