Opis

In this era of budget constraints and the application of increasingly time-limited models of residential treatment, The Forsaken Child, containing essays on the delivery of group care and individual treatment services for young people, presents an argument for the preservation of thoughtful, humanistic forms of residential care. With The Forsaken Child, you will gain a more refined understanding of the concepts of milieu treatment, the present-day challenges of managed care, and the development of contemporary techniques in psychoanalysis and dynamic psychotherapy.
