A recognized leader in the professional development of the child
and youth care field presents--in this single volume--a collection
of his work related to group care work with children and youth.
Henry Maier shares his observations about human development in the
group care context, the perceptions of children and youth, the
environments in which we work with them, the role of the worker,
and the preparation of child and youth care workers. Dr. Maier's
practical approaches reflect the most recent research and thinking
in human development. This book is a practical text for courses in
the child and youth field, as well as a useful handbook for child
and youth caseworkers already on the job.BACKCOVER COPYIn what way
can group care--non-familial living--assure children a
developmental progress similar to that of children growing up
within regular family care settings? In his practical new text,
Henry Maier--one of the most vibrant, creative, and humane figures
in child and youth care work today--answers that question for child
care professionals using a developmental perspective in his
approach to residential group care. He focuses on the developmental
requirements of children and adolescents in relation to the care
they receive while they are in no-familial, group living situations
and also highlights training for the caregivers in order that they
can effectively provide the kind of caring involvement that
children and youth require. "The real contribution of this book . .
. is that it cuts throught the confusion of competing values and
competing points of view to focus on the care at the heart of child
care work," attests Richard W. Small, PhD, Executive Director of
the Walker Home and School, Needham, Massachusetts (from the
Preface).

This study builds upon the belief that a human being is a manifold
between being who acts, feels, and thinks. No one account about
human development, whether behavioral, psychodynamic, or cognitive,
can fully explain human development. This book is written with the
conviction that study, research, and actual work with children or
youth should build upon that which is already known.
