Despite much research into this topic, most professionals agree that many troubled pupils, students and young people are failing to have their needs adequately met by their educational institution.
This book traces a substantial four year research and school development project that applied the principals of 'therapeutic education' in one school setting and exposes how current educational contexts actually contribute to disaffection and disruption of young people's learning.
The authors propose a well-tested practical model of school and curricular experience, based on therapeutic relationships, that has led to outstanding positive results in school development. With suggestions throughout for tried and tested strategies that really work, this book can help professionals turn troubled young people's experience of education from the nightmare it often is, into an adventure with positive results for lifelong learning.
Teachers, educational psychologists, counselors and anyone working with children and young people will find this an enlightening and invaluable read.

Industry Reviews

'This is a worthwhile book developing alternative ideas for working with troubled adolescents. Such ideas also have a place in our thinking about mainstream education'
