Designed as a guide for trainers and academic staff as well as for
practitioners working with the most disturbed children and young
people, this book seeks to explore the connections between the
challenges of practice and of learning. The book introduces the
matching principle - the principle that, in order to be successful,
training for any field of practice should match or reflect key
aspects of that practice in terms of personal and professional
experience as well as academic content.
Working in group care (ie residential and day services) is a
challenging and complex task, demanding great skill, patience,
knowledge and understanding. This book explains how best practice
can be achieved through the focused and engaged work of individuals
and teams who are well supported and managed. Detailed attention is
paid to the value of everyday practice and its underlying
principles. The book brings together theory, practice and research
findings from across the whole field of group care for all
user-groups - including health, education and probation settings as
well as social work and social care. The first edition was warmly
welcomed as 'well organised and accessible ... and a valuable
addition to the literature' (British Journal of Social Work). This
second edition is updated and expanded, including substantial new
material on the concept of 'opportunity led work'. The book will be
an essential text for all those involved in residential and day
care practice whether as practitioners, students, managers or
trainers. It argues strongly for seeing group care as valuable and
skilled work and for a holistic understanding of good practice.
Tackling the difficult issues facing those who work with
traumatized and sometimes dangerous young people and their
families, this new volume shows how professionals can bring about
positive change and growth through the creation of "holding" and
healing therapeutic environments. This collection of papers written
by established and respected experts with extensive practice and
research experience builds a powerful picture of the theory and
practice of therapeutic community work with young people. A wide
variety of therapeutic community approaches is considered alongside
an analysis of the implications of this model for mainstream
residential practice. Social work, health care and education
professionals will find the text invaluable for its presentation of
a well-founded analysis of their work with these most damaged and
desperate children and young people.
This comprehensive guide to relationship-based practice in social
work communicates the theory using illustrative case studies and
offers a model for practice. Updated and expanded, it now includes
increased coverage of anti-oppressive and diversity issues, service
user perspectives and systemic approaches in social work. The book
explores the ranges of emotions that practitioners may encounter
with service users, and covers working in both short-term and
long-term professional relationships. It also outlines key skills,
such as how to establish rapport, and explores systemic issues,
such as building appropriate support systems for practice,
management and leadership.

Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 11g: A Hands- On
Tutorial
Increasing numbers of people have connections with one country, but
live and work in another, frequently owning property or investments
in several countries. People with lifelong or subsequently
developed impairments of capacity move cross-border or have
property or family interests or connections spread across different
jurisdictions. This new work fills a gap in a specialist market for
a detailed work advising lawyers on all the considerations in these
situations. The book provides a clear, comprehensive, and unique
overview of all relevant capacity and private international law
issues, and the existing solutions in common law and civil law
jurisdictions and under Hague Convention XXXV. It sets out the
existing law of various important jurisdictions, including detailed
chapters on the constituent parts of the UK, Ireland, Jersey, the
Isle of Man and the Hague 35 states; and shorter chapters on 26
Non-Hague states and those within federal states, including
coverage of the United States, several Australian and Canadian
states, and a number of other Commonwealth jurisdictions.
Containing a number of helpful case studies and flowcharts, the
book draws upon the expertise of the editors in their respective
fields, together with detailed contributions from expert
practitioners and academics from each relevant jurisdiction. All
the editors and many of the contributors and correspondents are
members of STEP.
The first text to look in detail at the delivery and management of
therapeutic work in family centres, this much-needed book gives
practical guidance for professionals working with children and
families. The contributors show how family centres form a key
element of `joined-up' work with families in need, providing both
practical and emotional support for parents as well as children.
Based on a psychodynamic approach emphasising the central
importance of attachment in relationships, the book also applies
systemic ideas and the `therapeutic community' approach to the
overall design and management of the centres. Particular examples
of therapeutic interventions discussed include play therapy with
children, systemic work with black families, working with men, and
early intervention. The book is a comprehensive guide for family
centre workers, their managers and senior managers, and for all
social workers working with children and families. As family
centres are becoming an increasing focus for multi-agency work,
health visitors, teachers, and mental health professionals should
also find the book useful, as should policy makers at all levels.
