The role of therapy in schools is a topic that has been significantly under-researched and often overlooked. Considering the number of students in full-time education with serious emotional and behavioural difficulties, the skills and tricks used by therapists can be usefully passed on to teachers in the classroom.

This book traces a substantial four-year project that applied the principles of therapeutic education in one school setting and exposed how current educational contexts actually contribute to disaffection and disruption of young people's learning.

Capitalism in the twentieth century has been marked by periods of persistent bad performance alternating with episodes of good performance. Cornwall and Cornwall draw upon Schumpterian, Institutional and Keynesian economics to investigate how far these swings can be explained as integral to capitalist development. The authors consider the macroeconomic record of the developed capitalist economies over the past 100 years (including rates of growth, inflation and unemployment) as well as the interaction of economic variables with the changing structural features of the economy in the course of...

This series about individual education plans (IEPs) focuses on significant areas of SEN as documented in the 1994 Code of Practice. It provides key principles, institutional self-reviews, and ideas for action with additional photocopiable INSET activities sheets and case studies. The series recognizes progress made since 1994 and considers IEPs as a mechanism for involving the whole school in the implementation of inclusive educational practice.

This text forms part of the series outlining the principles of IEP planning and practice, with reference to pupils who have physical disabilities or medical conditions. The challenges and opportunities are considered in the following issues: how can teachers develop a truly educational perspective to deal with the demands of traditional medical approaches, disability rights and social responsibility?; what is the role of IEPs in ensuring true equality of opportunity and entitlement through an individualised programme?; what kind of targets are required and how can an educational balance be...
