| Summary |
"Building a Home Within presents a proven solution based on more than 10 years of work by the Children's Psychotherapy Project (CPP): When young people work with the same therapist, they have the opportunity to develop strong, healthy relationships and hope for the future." "Ideal for professional development, for graduate-level courses, or for any reader interested in the complex world of foster care, Building a Home Within includes case studies for discussion and extensive descriptions of therapy in action that demonstrate how children relate, give professionals ideas for how to respond, and provide a virtual one-way mirror into the therapeutic relationship. With a combined emphasis on biological, psychological, and social aspects that sets it apart from other books on the subject, this resource will help therapists fully address the emotional needs of children and adolescents in foster care."--Jacket. |
