During the 1980s, Britain's educational system was restructured and
redirected. Of the many changes which were made, perhaps the most
far-reaching have affected the education of teachers themselves.The
contributors to this book have all been centrally involved in the
reforming process of teacher education, as providers, assessors, or
practitioners, and it is as such that they reflect upon the
significant features of the changes in teacher education, while
assessing the fulfilment of the initial promise. The book analyses
recent advances in teacher education, especially the trend towards
improved teacher awareness and explains the application of new
ideas in education, considering their political causes and effects.
The first critical appraisal of the Thatcherite reform of teacher
education, this book also provides an up-to-date examination of the
support services for teachers in-service, and shows what is amiss
with the government's strategies for in-service training.With its
clear insights into the pressing concerns of teacher education
today, Advances in Teacher Education will be an invaluable resource
base for students, teachers, lectures, and educational
administrators as they attempt to understand the motivation and
stresses of teacher reform.
First published in 1991, Truants from Life is written by three
child psychiatrists, three psychologists, two psychotherapists, a
social worker, a bereavement counsellor and two specialist
teachers. The result is an excellent, fascinating, authoritative
and wide-ranging examination of withdrawn children at home, in
school and society. It outlines – how well do we understand
difficulties of such children? How can they be helped to have a
more robust, adequate and mature life? This is why there are
chapters on causes, assessments and treatments of withdrawal from
life. Reliable and rich case histories illustrate themes where
appropriate. This book will be of interest to students of
psychology, mental health, and social work.
How do disturbed children see the world? How can we understand
their difficulties? Most children have secret worlds but for some
these worlds contain secrets that are both permanent and damaging.
Originally published in 1992, this moving account of the secret
lives of such vulnerable and disturbed children will enable
professionals working with these children to find out what is going
on in their minds - what they are thinking, what they are feeling,
why they behave as they do. The contributors, all experts in their
field at the time, show how vulnerable children can be assessed and
how they can be helped most effectively.

The management of children with emotional and behavioural
difficulties has always been a source of worry and concern to those
who have to deal with them. Many such children are unpredictable,
sometimes embarrassing, and can often make us feel helpless. We
need to know more about them, and why they think, feel, and behave
as they do. Originally published in 1990, the contributors to this
volume bring a wide-ranging professional, practical approach to the
problem, looking at it from the perspectives of psychiatry,
psychology, psychotherapy, education, and social work. They
underline the fact that such behaviour cannot be assessed in
isolation from the context in which it occurs, and go beyond a mere
description of maladjusted children to ask, 'Maladjusted to what?
And under what conditions?' The social and family context is
continually borne in mind. The book will still be of great interest
to psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, teachers and
social workers, as well as to students in those disciplines, who
will find it an invaluable source to help them in their first
encounters with child patients, clients and pupils.
Throughout the world - and particularly in developed countries -
anxiety is one of the problems of modern living. It is not only
adults who experience this problem, indeed, anxiety is often
evident during periods of rapid change and since childhood is the
period during which we develop most rapidly, then a strong case can
be made for anxiety being especially prevalent in children.
Originally published in 1984, Anxiety in Children gives a broad
discussion, by well-known experts, of the issues of anxiety in
children, focusing particularly on what those involved in mental
health, paediatrics and educational and clinical psychology, can do
to help. This book will still be of interest to all such
professionals.
This collection provides a guide to the legal requirements
surrounding children's rights. The book discusses the
practicalities and problems of listening to the child in
educational, social and health settings.
