This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.
Download or read book Play Therapy Interventions with Children s Problems written by Garry L. Landreth and published by Jason Aronson. This book was released on 2010-08-14 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an easy-to-use reference to the most effective play therapy techniques and their substantiated results. Play therapy is not an approach based on guess, trial and error, or whims of the therapist at the moment. It is a well-thought-out, philosophically conceived, developmentally based, and research-supported method of helping children cope with and overcome the problems they experience in the process of living their lives. Concise digests of play therapy procedures explore the most difficult, as well as the most common problems encountered by play therapists. These digests cover play therapy approaches based on a variety of theoretical positions for dealing with a broad range of specific problems. Because they often do not have access to substantiated results, play therapists sometimes doubt themselves and the effectiveness of their work. This book, an invaluable resource, puts an end to such questioning.

Download or read book Therapeutic Group Work with Children written by Gisela Konopka and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 1949-06-06 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Therapeutic Group Work with Children was first published in 1949. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. This is an account of two significant projects in therapeutic group work with emotionally disturbed adolescents. In detailed and often dramatic reports of many group sessions, the author provides insight into the use of therapeutic group work methods. In a preface to this second printing, Professor Konopka points out that when the book was first published the use of group therapy in the treatment of delinquent or emotionally disturbed youngsters was quite new. Now, the practice has proved its worth, and the book has become increasingly important as teaching material for social work students, as well as a guide for practicing social workers. It is also helpful to those in other professions who are concerned with the problems of delinquent or disturbed children. The projects described involved a group of delinquent boys under observation by the Minnesota Youth Conservation Commission and a group of emotionally disturbed girls in a child guidance clinic. Through her account, Professor Konopka shows many kinds of situations which arise in group therapy and ways in which they may be handled by a trained social worker. Reviewers have been generous in their appraisal of the book. Saul Bernstein said in Social Work Journal: "We have here a rich gold mine for promoting human adjustment." Harleigh B. Trecker, in Federal Probation, called it: "a vivid, clear, warm story of social group work in action." There is a new foreword in this printing by Hyman S. Lippman, M.D., director of the Amherst H. Wilder Child Guidance Clinic, St. Paul, Minnesota.
Download or read book Group Counseling and Psychotherapy with Children and Adolescents written by Zipora Shechtman and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many children and adolescents face developmental or situational difficulties in areas where they live most of their meaningful experiences—at home, at school, and in the community. While adults who struggle with life events and stressors may look to professional help, young individuals are quite alone in coping with these situations. Perhaps unsurprisingly, most children and adolescents typically do not seek such help, and often resist it when offered. Author Zipora Shechtman has written this detailed text advocating group counseling and psychotherapy as a viable means of addressing these issues if we are to ensure the psychological wellness of children in society. Group Counseling and Psychotherapy With Children and Adolescents is arranged in four parts. Its chapters explore topics including: *who needs group counseling and psychotherapy; *therapeutic factors in children's groups; *activities in the group; *pre-group planning and forming a group; and *how to enhance emotional experiencing and group support. This text is a principal source of information for counseling psychology students, researchers, and practitioners working with young people, in addition to social workers, teachers, and parents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume deals with a method of psychotherapy employed at the Jewish Board of Guardians of New York since 1934, known as Group Therapy. The Jewish Board of Guardians is a social service agency rendering a child guidance service to children presenting problems of personality. These problems may manifest themselves in the form of delinquent or neurotic behavior and may result in either individual or social maladjustment. Service is rendered to boys and girls up to the age of eighteen. Along with psychiatric, case work, and psychological services, Group Therapy is employed as one of the treatment methods, particularly where interpersonal experience is essential to children. According to their needs, Group Therapy is employed either as supplementary to individual psychotherapy or as an exclusive treatment method, although in the agency at the present time the latter represents a much smaller proportion of the cases treated than the former. The present volume is intended to formulate some of the basic principles of interpersonal therapy and to outline the practice of Group Therapy. It is hoped at a future date to make available record and theoretical material on Group Therapy in terms of individual problems and social dynamics with greater detail than is possible in a general discussion.
