This volume provides a critical and comprehensive account of the theoretical and practical issues raised in working with children and their families. Its strong applied focus allows the contributing authors to address a rich variety of issues of concern to professionals working with children in a range of settings. It engages with many of the current social, legal, political and cultural debates about how services should be organized and delivered. Recent legislation is examined and the themes of social inclusion, quality of life and the valuing of diversity are debated. A specific challenge is made to the 'problematizing' discourses of childhood that continue to influence work with children and families. Book jacket.
