Items related to Emotional Growth and Learning
This work contributes to the debate on adverse treatment of children with emotional and behavioural difficulties. The text serves as a practical and theoretical resource for the training of teachers and other professionals. Drawing on case studies from his own experience, the author illustrates the relevant concepts of Jungian, psychoanalytic and humanistic psychology. The text also provides individual and group exercises which should help adults to explore the nature of their own participation in the growth and learning processes. The book's multi-disciplinary approach should appeal to teachers in mainstream and special schools, researchers and professionals in the related fields of clinical psychology, counselling and social work, as well as to parents.

Summary of award won and of reviews
I've been delighted by the response to this book. It won the Times Educational Supplement/National Association of Special Education Needs Book of the Year Award. All the reviews have been very positive. The Times Education Supplement referred to it as 'a big, nourishing volume ... presenting a magnificent panorama on emotional development. ... This is a book which will be read with profit by anyone in education.' In Therapeutic Communities the reviewer wrote, ' I know of no other single work addressed mainly to teachers which explores ways of working with the processes that can enable children to manage their feelings and develop the capacity to learn and think'. The Journal of Intellectual Disability Research refers to it as 'a very useful reference book for various professionals.' Educational Therapy and Therapeutic Teaching comments 'the book condenses into 300+ pages what is known about psycho-dynamic approaches to learning and failure to learn. It's tightly packed chapters are pointedly interspaced both with very moving case presentations and exercises directly prompting readers on by helping them to reflect on the main issues.' Pastoral Care states that the book 'deserves to be read widely and contains enough wisdom to warrant an extended life span.'
