Taylor & Francis Ltd Child Development with the Dscore
Book SynopsisChildren learn to walk, speak, and think at an astonishing pace. The D-score presents a unified framework that places children and their developmental milestones from different tools onto the same scale, enabling comparisons in child development across populations, groups and individuals. This pioneering text explains why we need the D-score, how we construct it, and how we calculate it. It will be of interest not just to professionals in child development, but also to policymakers in international settings and to data scientists. Open Plus Books are published on an F1000-powered open research platform where they can be amended, updated, and extended, in addition to being published as a print and open access ebook.

Taylor & Francis Responses to Serious Offending by Children
Book SynopsisThis book explores the principles, practice and challenges in determining justice system responses to serious offending by children globally. Divided into four parts, the book provides a balance of theoretical and empirical insights. Anchored in a theoretical framework based on the human rights of children, as set out in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, it considers the relationship between scientific evidence (such as brain development) and the human rights framework, before going to explore the diversity of responses to children who are found responsible for serious offences. It brings together experts from various disciplines to fill a gap relating to serious offending by children in the literature. Scholars from Africa, Latin America and Asia, as well as Europe, North America and Oceania provide perspectives from legally, socially and culturally distinct jurisdictions. The first part focuses on the theoretical framework and explores the applicable standards aTable of Contents1. IntroductionNessa Lynch, Yannick van den Brink, Louise FordePART I: PRINCIPLES2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Thinking Developmentally from Constructivism to
Book SynopsisIn the World Library of Psychologists series, international experts present career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces - extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, and their major practical theoretical contributions.This influential volume of papers, chosen by Professor Annette Karmiloff-Smith before she passed away, recognises her major contribution to the field of developmental psychology. Published over a 40-year period, the papers included here address the major themes that permeate through Annette's work: from typical to atypical development, genetics and computation modelling approaches, and neuroimaging of the developing brain. A newly written introduction by Michael S. C. Thomas and Mark H. Johnson gives an overview of her research journey and contextualises her selection of papers in relation to changes in the field over time.Thinking Developmentally from Constructivism to NeuroconstructiviTrade Review"Annette Karmiloff-Smith changed the field of Developmental Psychology with her thinking. She recognised the importance of ‘development itself’ for understanding both typical and atypical development. In this collection of works, which spans four decades, the reader is introduced to the neuroconstructivist theory that development from infancy to adulthood is a product of multi-level interactions across genes, brain, behaviour and the environment. Annette’s work was and continues to be an inspiration for developmental psychologists. Whilst her presence is sorely missed, her legacy will live on through this volume." - Emily Farran, University College London, UK"Karmiloff-Smith’s explorations of cognitive development and neurocognitive disorders challenge conventional modes of thought about the origins of cognitive abilities and the basis of developmental anomalies. Anyone who hopes to understand and contribute further to these topics will benefit from the distinctive perspectives presented in the articles in this book." – Jay McLelland, Stanford University, USA"Karmiloff-Smith was one of the most important developmental psychologists of her generation. She combined razor sharp critical skills with a profound belief that understanding child development meant understanding the mechanisms that give rise to the changes we see across childhood. This work brings together for the first time in a single volume Annette’s most important papers. Readers will not only have all of her seminal works within access, but will be able to see the evolution of her thinking and the stunning ranging reach of her impact. It is invaluable for students and researchers alike." - Denis Mareschal, University of London, UKTable of ContentsFROM IMPLICIT TO EXPLICIT KNOWLEDGE – TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT, Karmiloff-Smith, A. & Inhelder, B.

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. It gives a Table of Contents 1. Introduction 2. Charles Darwin: The First Child Psychologist 3. John B. Watson: A behaviourist's tragedies 4.

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.

The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Childhood and Children is an outstanding reference source for the key topics, problems and debates in this crucial and exciting field and is the first collection of its kind. Comprising over thirty chapters by a team of international contributors the Handbook is divided into five parts: Being a child Childhood and moral status Parents and children Children in society Children and the state.Questions covered include: What is a child?

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. Going beyond the usual focus on North America and Europe, the text offers comparative insights into the nature of childhood in different societies. The chapters provide first-hand accounts of fieldwork with children in diverse geographical places such as Mexico, the Ecuadorian Amazon, Rwanda, central India, Thailand, Malaysia, and China. The book provides hope, encouragement and inspiration to anyone planning to undertake ethnographic fieldwTrade ReviewAll contributions are written in a highly accessible manner, free from disciplinary jargon or particular theoretical concerns and with only a bare minimum of literature citations. The result is a unique text appealing to a broad readership. The chapters convey a real sense of what ethnographic research with children and youth is all about, including insightful reflections on the many dilemmas researchers inevitably encounter. In this way, the title offers something that the various textbooks on doing research with children and youth rarely achieve and as such forms an excellent companion to such conventional texts ...

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
