Informationen zum Autor Helton, Lonnie R.; Smith, Mieko Kotake Klappentext Mental Health Practice with Children and Youth: A Strengths and Well-Being Model presents new insights into working with children and adolescents by concentrating on their capabilities and resilience to help them to empower themselves. This book explores specific strategies for maximizing children's self-concept, learning, pro-social behaviors, and positive peer relationships in the home, in school, and in the community. Augmented with case studies, empirical findings, and questions for discussion in every chapter, this text will help mental health and community service practitioners as well as university faculty and students better serve the younger clients in their work. Zusammenfassung Mental Health Practice with Children and Youth shows how children's rights have slowly evolved over many years, from children's status as property in the 1600s to the twentieth-century innovations that give a child a specific legal status with a certain amount of freedom and self-determination.
