Summary
Summary
This introduction to educational psychotherapy outlines the insights that will be of interest to teachers by discussing troubled children in the classroom who resist efforts to teach them. Its evidence-based approach allows teaching with confidence, and a clear understanding of the role of educational psychotherapy in the classroom.
The book comprises four case studies of educational therapy work with children, chosen for their narrative interest and the variety of the children's difficulties and backgrounds. As the stories of three boys and one girl unfold, the links between their learning difficulties and their social/emotional development become clear. Later chapters develop understanding of this way of working, with detailed accounts of how to assess suitability for educational therapy, psychoanalytic concepts underpinning the approach, and techniques and materials used in individual and classroom work.
