This clear and comprehensive text shows social work students and practitioners how to make psychosocial assessments and plan interventions based on a solid understanding of the child's needs. Illustrated with detailed case examples, the volume covers a variety of different helping methods, including family-centered approaches, working through children's groups, working one-to-one with individual children, and working in collaboration with schools. Special attention is given to the needs of children dealing with family violence, substance-disordered families, placement in foster care, being in "the middle" of child custody suits, deaths in the family, immigration, and adoption. Throughout, readers gain valuable insight into specific helping techniques as well as an appreciation for the diverse roles of the social worker/counselor.
