A Child's Journey To Recovery
Patrick Tomlinson and Terry Philpot, foreword by Mary Walsh
Carefully planned and assessed treatment is a key factor in helping traumatized children to come to terms with their experiences. A Child’s Journey to Recovery outlines how to set up a process for measuring a child’s progress towards recovery and, uniquely, describes a practical outcomes-based approach that can be provided by an integrated multi-disciplinary team.
Particular themes addressed include the conflict between the child’s chronological and emotional ages, the need to work at the child’s pace, the importance of a whole-team approach, and the challenges involved in measuring progress. The authors describe clearly defined outcomes for recovery, how children are assessed, how recovery plans are made, and show how progress can be closely monitored and responded to through the continuing process of assessment. An in-depth case study is used to show how this works in practice.
This book forms part of an integrated approach and is an ideal accompaniment to existing titles in the SACCS ‘Delivering Recovery’ series, Living Alongside a Child’s Recovery: Therapeutic Parenting with Traumatized Children, The Child's Own Story: Life Story Work with Traumatized Children, and Reaching the Vulnerable Child: Therapy with Traumatized Children.
