Social inequality and social disadvantage provide an all too
fertile soil that sustains the majority of the serious mental
health problems suffered by children in our society.
The complexity of the issues clinicians routinely encounter in
working with children with mental health problems is widely
acknowledged. However, few books concern themselves with how such
difficult populations can be effectively approached and the
strategies that are likely to deliver effective treatment to them.
This book, based on a highly successful seminar for grant-giving
children’s charities held at the Anna Freud Centre and sponsored by
John Lyon’s Charity, provides pragmatic solutions to this major
therapeutic challenge of our age. The chapters bridge statutory and
voluntary initiatives and are held firmly together by the
commitment to evidence-based, systematically offered, programmatic
and innovative approaches that can help those who, although hard to
reach, are in greatest need of our efforts: the socially excluded
children and families in our society. As such, this book will be
invaluable to psychologists, psychotherapists, counselors and
family therapists.
