Purchase options and add-ons

When children from insecure backgrounds become adolescents, the challenges they experience themselves and present for those around them can get a lot harder to sort out, before the teenager can fully integrate into society. These adolescents can quickly acquire 'bad kid' or 'anti-social' labels. They may form attachments by joining gangs, but in doing so, further alienate themselves from other more constructive options on offer.The contributors to this much needed book have all worked successfully on the front line with teenagers whose ability to make healthy relationships, or to find learning exciting or even possible, has been severely compromised by their past experiences of trauma, neglect and abuse. Each expert practitioner offers practical strategies, underpinned by attachment theory and their own extensive experience, to enable teachers, psychologists, therapists and social workers to reach out to young people in new ways, establishing genuine connection and real possibilities for learning and hope. Contents include:Attachment and adolescence-the key issues-Karl Heinz Brisch. Helping adolescents navigate transitions-Louise Bomber. Using an attachment approach in the classroom-Marie Delaney. Building authentic attachment relationships- Barbara Earl. Principles of attachment and intersubjectivity-Daniel A. Hughes. Supporting adolescent refugees-Sue Amey. Reaching teenage gang members-Camila Batmanghelidjh. Helping adolescents make the transition to university-Ann Heyno.

Excellent book for anyone wanting to explore attachment with Teens in different settings. Easy to read but written to a great standard, I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the subject. I have learnt a lot from it already.

A first rate book full of practical ideas on how to help this very vulnerable group. Should be compulsory reading for all adults working with children in schools.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not quite there
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 10, 2020
Verified Purchase
There is a very good collection of essays in this book however the last one disappointed. Not that it was bad in itself but limited. It went into the issues facing those who go to University but completely neglected the 50% who don't and the issues they face (and given that attachment issues are associated with lower academic ability it will be well over 50%). Not sure if this was a writing or editorial decision but it meant that the end of the book felt incomplete and rather blase about those teenagers with attachment issues who don't go onto University.
A sad omission that rather spoiled the overall book.
