Featuring contributions from distinguished international contributors, it critically examines current research and innovative practice and addresses the key questions: how does it work, what are its critical “active ingredients” and does it represent value for money? The book covers a broad spectrum of established and emerging approaches pioneered around with world, with contributors from the USA, Canada, Scandinavia, Spain, Australia, Israel and the UK offering a mix of practice and research exemplars. The book also looks at the research relating to critical issues for child welfare service providers: the best time to refer children to residential care, how children can be helped to make the transition into care, the characteristics of children entering and exiting care, strategies for engaging families as partners, how the substantial cost of providing intensive is best measured against outcomes, and what research and development challenges will allow therapeutic residential care to be rigorously compared with its evidence-based community-centered alternatives. Importantly, the volume also outlines how to set up and implement intensive child welfare services, considering how transferable they are, how to measure success and value for money, and the training protocols and staffing needed to ensure that a programme is effective.This comprehensive volume will enable child welfare professionals, researchers and policymakers to develop a refined understanding of the potential of therapeutic residential care, and to identify the highest and best uses of this intensive and specialized intervention.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 227mmItem Length: 153mmItem Width: 20mmItem Weight: 582gContributor: Christopher Bellonci (Contributions by), Lisa Holmes (Edited by), Anat Zeira (Contributions by), Amaia Bravo (Contributions by), Lauren Schmidt (Contributions by), Turf Jakobsen (Contributions by), Iriana Santos (Contributions by), Megan Cummings (Contributions by), Hans Grietens (Contributions by), Martha Holden (Contributions by), Erik Knorth (Contributions by), Ana Sainero (Contributions by), Mike Stein (Contributions by), Nathanael Okpych (Contributions by), Sigrid James (Contributions by), Susan Ramsey (Contributions by), Annemiek Harder (Contributions by), Frank Ainsworth (Contributions by), June Thoburn (Contributions by), Bethany Lee (Contributions by), Mette Lausten (Contributions by), Ronald Thompson (Contributions by), James K Whittaker (Edited by), Richard Small (Contributions by), James Anglin (Contributions by), Nicole Obeid (Contributions by), Patricia McNamara (Contributions by), John Lyons (Contributions by), Jorge Fernandez del Valle (Edited by), Robbie Gilligan (Foreword by), Mark Courtney (Contributions by), Michael Nunno (Contributions by), Richard Barth (Contributions by), Daniel Daly (Contributions by), Charles Izzo (Contributions by)Genre: Society & CultureBook Series: Child Welfare OutcomesTopic: Social SciencesAuthor: Christopher BellonciRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
