Taylor & Francis Ltd Great Psychologists as Parents
Book SynopsisDoes it make you a better parent if you have pioneered scientific theories of child development? In a unique study, David Cohen compares what great psychologists have said about raising children and the way they did it themselves. Did the experts practice what they preached? Using an eclectic variety of sources, from letters, diaries, autobiographies, biographies, as well as material from interviews, each chapter focuses on a key figure in historical context. There are many surprises. Was Piaget, the greatest child psychologist of the 20th century, the only man to try to psychoanalyse his mother? How many sons of great gurus have had to rescue their father from a police station as R.D Laing''s son did? And why did Melanie Klein''s daughter wear red shoes they day her mother died? The book covers early scientists such as Darwin, psychoanalysists such as Freud and Jung, to founders of developmental psychology including Piaget and Bowlby as well as Dr Spock.

Taylor & Francis Ltd School Bullying
Book SynopsisTo effectively cope with school bullying it is essential to understand the issues underpinning student peer group dynamics in the school, classroom and community and this view lies at the heart of the text. While the experience of bullying others or being victimized is identified with an individual or group the solution lies with the systems eg community, school, classroom or family of which the individual is part. Particular emphasis is given to the role of prosocial behavior and a strengths based perspective in addressing how students cope with school bullying within a systemic context. The text is strongly informed by the author's experience in developing and conducting national and international school-based anti-bullying and mental health interventions. The book advocates a systems based approach to addressing school bullying as illustrated with a program developed and evaluated by the author called the P.E.A.C.E. Pack: A program for reducing bullying in schools'.Trade Review"School Bullying comes at a time of increasing concern about the harmful effects of bullying on children’s and young people’s health and the increasing awareness on the right of children to be protected from bullying. This well written and engaging book presents a comprehensive guide for educators in understanding, preventing and stopping school bullying. It is very well researched, and one of its major strengths is the way it translates research and theory into accessible and practical suggestions for educators and practitioners in preventing and stopping bullying in schools. Each chapter includes practical activities like Points for reflection, Trends and issues, and Ideas for schools and classroom, and closes with Guidelines for school practice, What the reader has learned, an activity and list of references. The book takes also a systemic perspective complimented by a strengths based approach, underling the benefits of prosocial and harmonious relationships as the antithesis to bullying. This book is an ideal text for initial teacher education courses on the promotion of mental health and healthy relationships and prevention of school bullying. It should find its way in every school library as a practical and accessible reference for school leaders, teachers, educators, and other mental health practitioners. This is THE book for anyone who wants a comprehensive, balanced, accessible, well researched but practical guide on school bullying." - Prof Carmel Cefai, Director Centre for Resilience and Socio-Emotional Health, University of Malta"Aimed at school professionals, this book provides a detailed account of school bullying, from theories to assessing and coping with bullying in school. (...) This book would be helpful for someone in the teaching profession to prompt them to think more about bullying" - YouthinmindTable of Contents1. The Dynamic of the School Peer Group 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Children
Book SynopsisConducting ethnographic fieldwork with children presents anthropologists with particular challenges and limitations, as well as rewards and insights. Children: Ethnographic Encounters presents ten vivid accounts of researchers' experiences of working with children across a variety of cultural contexts. Part of the Ethnographic Encounters series, the book offers honest reflections on successes as well as failures and shows that in all cases even those that failed' anthropologists can learn something about children's position in their social world.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Counselling Children and Young People in Private
Book SynopsisWith statutory CAMHS services often heavily oversubscribed, and school and college services mainly offering brief therapeutic interventions, parents are increasingly turning to private practitioners for therapy for their children when they need expert emotional or psychological support. Working privately with children and families can be a rewarding experience for counsellors and psychotherapists but it can also be fraught with concerns for both practitioners and families alike. These concerns can seem so daunting that therapists with clinical experience of therapy with children continue to limit themselves to working only in education or statutory settings.This book offers comprehensive guidance to both experienced and novice counsellors to assist them in the process of setting up or adapting their private practice to include children and young people. It coherently and systematically addresses the obstacles which stand in the way of practitioners offering this important service effectively and ethically.The book is divided into four parts and uses case material to bring to life the areas covered by each chapter. Each chapter concludes with a summary of key points covered. Part one is a practical guide to the referral, assessment, and contracting processes, as well as to the logistics of converting an adult practice into one suitable for children and young people. Part two contains chapters on general clinical issues important to this field such as confidentiality, the law and working with risk. Part three contains chapters examining professional issues such as training and supervision, while part four is a stand-alone chapter covering the aspects of digital technology and social networking which have had a huge impact on therapy and young people alike.Trade Review'This book provides an excellent guide to key legal aspects of working as a therapist in private practice with children and young people. It makes very effective use of numerous unfolding case studies, which really resonate with the realities of undertaking therapeutic work with this challenging and rewarding client group.'- Peter Jenkins, counsellor, trainer, and author of Children's Rights and Counselling'If you're already working with children and young people in private practice, this is the book you'll wish you'd already had; those starting in this exciting and complex field will find it a vital resource from the start. Working therapeutically with this age group is as rewarding as it is challenging. It is a demographic rich with complexities such as the limits of a young person's autonomy; the nature of confidentiality; the breadth of duty of care; managing risk; the impact of family dynamics; and so much more. Rebecca Kirkbride has managed something in this text that is rare - the incorporation of great psychological thinking alongside a grounded and practical approach to the challenges inherent in this work. Accessible case examples brilliantly illustrate complex issues that enable practitioners to engage thoughtfully with ethical challenges. This will no doubt become the "go to" text for the field that will be referred to again and again.'- Aaron Balick, PhD, psychotherapist, honorary senior lecturer, Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies, Univeristy of Essex, author of The Psychodynamics of Social Networking'This book provides useful information on all matters relating to private practice in working with children. There is extensive coverage of relevant issues extending from the initial consultation through to the ending of treatment; even issues such as managing the waiting room are thought through. Many of these issues are explored in the context of a legal and ethical framework. The author raises questions which are not easily answered and allows the reader a range of perspectives from which to formulate their own ethical stance. This will be a useful text for both trainees and professionals.'- Dr Debbie Daniels, psychotherapist and co-author of Therapy with Children: Children's Rights, Confidentiality and the LawTable of ContentsIntroduction , Private Practice with Children and Young People , Referral and assessment , Contracting and establishing the therapeutic frame , Setting up: creating a setting for therapy with children and young people , Working with parents and families , Ethical Issues in Counselling Children and Young People in Private Practice , The law, ethical issues, and confidentiality , Working therapeutically with risk , Professional Issues in Private Practice with Children and Young People , Referring on and working with other agencies , Training, supervision, and support networks , Working with Technology in Private Practice with Children and Young People , The impact of digital technology and communication , Useful resources

He traces the transformation of children and childhood across two centuries and places children's agency in the context of leading theoretical approaches.Trade Review'This book offers a lucid and authoritative reconceptualisation of agency and probes crucial issues surrounding contemporary childhood and childhood studies. A text to think with - and act on.' Kirsten Drotner, University of Southern Denmark'An insightful and very welcome addition to the field, The Agency of Children offers a fresh and distinctive approach to childhood studies.

Cambridge University Press Temperament and Child Development in Context
Book SynopsisChildren''s temperament is a central individual characteristic that has significant implications, directly and indirectly, for their social, emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and health outcomes, through its evocative and moderating effects on other social and contextual influences. Accounting for these contextual influences is critical to articulating the role of temperament in children''s development. This Element defines temperament and describes its roots in neurobiological systems as well as its relevance to children''s developmental outcomes, with a focus on understanding the influence of temperament in children''s social and environmental contexts. It covers key developmental periods, situating the contribution of temperament to children''s development in complex and changing processes and contexts from infancy through adolescence. The Element concludes by underscoring the value of integrating contextual, relational, and dynamic systems approaches and pointing to future directions in temperament research and application.

Cambridge University Press Portraits of Children on Roman Funerary Monuments
Book SynopsisDrawing on hundreds of tombstones from Rome, Italy and the Western provinces, this study assesses how parents visualised childhood. By considering the most popular funerary themes and iconographic models, it emphasises both the emotional and social investment placed in children, bringing to the fore many little-known examples. From Britannia to Dacia, Aquitania to Pannonia, it highlights the rich artistic diversity of the provinces and shows that not all trends were borrowed from the capital. With a wide range of social groups in evidence, including freedmen, soldiers and peregrini, it also considers the varying reasons which underlay child commemoration and demonstrates the importance of studying the material in context. Amply supported by a catalogue of examples and over a hundred images, it will be essential reading for anyone working on Roman childhood or family studies.Trade Review'Mander has produced a study of Roman childhood that is exemplary not only for the physical research that has gone into documenting this far-flung body of monuments but also for his rigorous, wide-ranging, and sober analysis of that corpus within its broader visual traditions and social-historical contexts. This is a book that any scholar with an interest in ancient childhood, the family, and social history will profit from reading.' Sinclair Bell, American Journal of ArchaeologyTable of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press The Childs Right to Development
Book SynopsisThis book provides a comprehensive account of how child development and the right to development of children have been understood in international children''s rights law. It argues that any conceptions of childhood focussed either on children''s future as adults, or on children''s lives in the present, overlook the hybridity of children''s lived experiences. The book therefore suggests a new conception of childhood - namely, ''hybrid childhood'' - which accommodates respect for children''s agency and human dignity in the present, in the process of growth, and in the outcomes of this process when the child becomes an adult. Consequently, and building on the capability approach''s idea of human development, the book presents a radical new interpretation of the child''s right to development under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It offers a comprehensive interpretation of the right to development, which is one of the four guiding principles of the Convention.Trade Review'The Child's Right to Development is an extremely welcome addition to the field of children's rights scholarship. The right to development is fundamental to understanding the Convention on the Rights of the Child but has, to date, been neglected completely in research and scholarship. Dr Peleg's detailed and thoughtful legal analysis situates the right within wider childhood theory and child development practice. This scholarly critique is a must read for every children's rights academic or student.' Laura Lundy, Co-Editor in Chief International Journal of Children's Rights; Co-Director, Centre for Children's Rights, Queen's University Belfast'Focusing on the crucial issue of the child's right to development under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child - a historically under-researched and marginalised topic - Peleg's book is a key contribution to our understanding of children, development and rights. In providing a much-needed justification and critical account of this right, Peleg outlines a highly original and inter-disciplinary conception of development, thereby pushing the boundaries of human rights scholarship.' Aoife Nolan, University of Nottingham and Member, Council of Europe European Committee of Social Rights'There is a serious deficit both in conceptualisation, and understanding of the child's right to development, as well as its synergy with other rights. The intellectual rigour with which these issues are argued in this book makes it an important and accessible resource to a diverse group of professionals that are working towards the creation of a world that is fit for children.' Benyam Dawit Mezmur, University of the Western Cape, South Africa and former Chairperson of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child and of the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child'The Child's Right to Development makes a remarkable contribution to the field of children's rights and legal scholarship. This monograph is rich, both in terms of its theoretical foundation and conceptual depth. Strengthened by Peleg's considerable archival analysis, it presents an innovative cross-disciplinary understanding of child development that leads to a more 'concrete interpretation of the child's right to development'. This monograph deserves a wide readership and has clear international appeal.' Dr Faith Gordon, Australian Journal of Human Rights'The book offers a new conception of 'hybrid' childhood in which two existing interpretations - one focused on children's future as adults, the other on their present situation as children, which come together to combine children's right to dignity and agency with their right to development as a process of growth. Drawing on the paradigm of capability, it also suggests a new reading of the right to development as one of the four guiding principles of the CRC.' Urszula Markowska-Manista, Journal of Social Welfare and Family Law'The Child's Right to Development makes a significant contribution not only to legal studies and international human rights law but to conceptual advancements in the field of childhood studies … Peleg builds on key principles of childhood studies such as agency, participation, recognition and intersectionality to argue that there is no right way for a child to develop. The real contribution of the monograph lies in applying these important principles to broaden the scope of the CRC 'in order to create a coherent and meaningful interpretation of the right to development' [(p. 13)], which respects children's agency and the heterogeneity of childhood.' Antonia Canosa, Global Studies of Childhood'The Child's Right to Development is remarkable, not only for its intellectual rigour and depth of analysis, but also the innovation it brings to the issues. The breadth of Peleg's research makes it a welcomed resource for child rights academics, practitioners, students – and indeed anyone interested in the field of child rights law. Presented in accessible and lucid prose, Peleg engages his readers, critically challenging our perceptions of children, childhood, and the journey into adulthood. He leaves us with an appreciation that, '[g]rowing up is something that children do, but it is not the only thing that they do, nor can it be the only thing that defines them: children participate in giving meaning to the complexity of their own childhood, which is not limited to the question of their future' (192).' Sheila Varadan, International Journal of Law, Policy and the Family'This work … is useful for those practitioners working to uphold the rights of children either in government or in the non-governmental and civil society sectors … Peleg's work is a reminder that as human rights practitioners and educators we must continue to build a child-centred pedagogy, one which intentionally strives to amplify the voices of the young rather than regarding what they say as an afterthought. Undoubtedly, this requires work, but it is how we truly reimagine spaces that uphold child rights and child agency.' Marissa A. Gutierrez-Vicario, Human Rights Education ReviewTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Embedding the protection of 'child development' into international children's rights law; 2. Creating the right to development of children; 3. The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child's interpretation of the right to development; 4.

Book SynopsisNATIONAL BESTSELLERFrom a leading child psychologist comes this groundbreaking new understanding of children?s behavior, offering insight and strategies to support both parents and children.Nominated for Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Cain, Adam Grant, and Daniel H. Pink''s Next Big Idea ClubOver her decades as a clinical psychologist, Dr. Mona Delahooke has routinely counseled distraught parents who struggle to manage their children?s challenging, sometimes oppositional behaviors. These families are understandably focused on correcting or improving a child?s lack of compliance, emotional outbursts, tantrums, and other ?out of control? behavior.But, as she has shared with these families, a perspective shift is needed. Behavior, no matter how challenging, is not the problem but a symptom; a clue about what is happening in a child?s unique physiologic makeup.InBrain-Body Parenting, Dr. Delahooke offers a radical new approach to parenting based on her clinical experience as well as the most recent research in neuroscience and child psychology. Instead of a ?top-down? approach to behavior that focuses on the thinking brain, she calls for a ?bottom-up? approach that considers the essential role of the entire nervous system, which produces children?s feelings and behaviors.When we begin to understand the biology beneath the behavior, suggests Dr. Delahooke, we give our children the resources they need to grow and thrive?and we give ourselves the gift of a happier, more connected relationship with them. Brain-Body Parenting empowers parents with tools to help their children develop self-regulation skills while also encouraging parental self-care, which is crucial for parents to have the capacity to provide the essential ?co-regulation? children need. When parents shift from trying to secure compliance to supporting connection and balance in the body and mind, they unlock a deeper understanding of their child, encouraging calmer behavior, more harmonious family dynamics, and increased resilience.

Book SynopsisA groundbreaking exploration of the ways in which the intelligence and abilities of children and young adults with autism are often overlooked and misjudged, with tried-and-true interventions that can be used to help them reach their full potential.Our limited and often biased view of what’s considered “normal” often prevents us from recognizing the gifts and brilliance of those who don’t fit a specific mold. Too often we don’t explore and take advantage of the far-reaching gifts and potential of those diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum or neurodiverse. Dr. Lynn Kern Koegel has had vast experience researching Autism Spectrum Disorders—ASD—and working with autistic people of all ages. She has repeatedly witnessed firsthand evidence of great intelligence that hasn’t yet been nurtured or realized.In Hidden Brilliance, Dr. Koegel and writer Claire LaZebnik explore the ways in which the brillia
