Social Work Books

This well written and thoughtful book describes and discusses the implications of attachment theory for understanding and responding to child abuse and neglect.  Recent research, which Howe draws upon, has highlighted the need for understanding the ways in which  neuroscience can help understand the impacts of abuse and neglect, and poor attachment, on children. He also discussed how behavioural, emotional, cognitive and systems -based approaches can aid attachment-based interventions in children’s lives.

This book will be of interest and use for all of those working, or studying to work with,   children and families.

Child Abuse and Neglect: Attachment, Development and Intervention

The Child’s World: The Comprehensive Guide to Assessing Children in Need

The previous edition of this book was a bestseller, and this new, updated edition is also deservedly destined to become one too.

The assessment of children and families is a key area in much professional activity, and this book highlights the policy, practice, legal and research implications for those assessing children with regard to The Framework for Assessment of Children in Need and their Families.

As such, it will receive a ready readership within the UK from those working in child and adult social work, social care, early years, health and education, and it will als be a valuable source of information for students  training to work in these areas.

However, the book will be of interest and use outside the UK as well, providing as it does a readable, up to date text which will assist all those involved, and interested in, child and family assessment.
