This introduction to educational psychotherapy outlines theinsights that will be of interest to teachers by discussingtroubled children in the classroom who resist efforts to teachthem. Its evidence-based approach allows teaching withconfidence, and a clear understanding of the role of educationalpsychotherapy in the classroom.
The book comprises four case studies of educational therapy workwith children, chosen for their narrative interest and the varietyof the children's difficulties and backgrounds. As thestories of three boys and one girl unfold, the links between theirlearning difficulties and their social/emotional development becomeclear. Later chapters develop understanding of this way of working,with detailed accounts of how to assess suitability for educationaltherapy, psychoanalytic concepts underpinning the approach, andtechniques and materials used in individual and classroom work.
