Summary: Mental health practice with children and youth
Review: Lonnie R Helton and Mieko Kotake Smith are both professors of social woirk at the School of Social Work at Cleveland State University, Ohio, United States with extensive experience in both clinical work, research and teaching.
This book has eleven chapters: strength and resilience, children and the American society, family, socialization, learning, self-concept, adolescence, practice, therapies, research and empowerment. It is written in an easy language, research based with illustrative case stories and each chapter ending with questions for discussion.
Each generation of children and youth must face new challenges, crises and traumas, but their strength and resilience will bring them through circumstances that sometimes are hard for adults to comprehend or understand. This book is about capabilities to overcome and empower our children and youth for a better future.
This book will be of value to both the practitioner working with children and youth, but also to faculty and students.
