Routledge Therapeutic Education - Working with Troubled Children

Therapeutic Education addresses the significant gap in research and practice around therapy's role in schools, offering practical strategies for teachers working with emotionally and behaviourally challenged students. Based on a substantial four-year project conducted in a school setting, this Routledge book demonstrates how current educational contexts can contribute to student disaffection and learning disruption, whilst providing evidence-based approaches to therapeutic practice within classrooms. The authors translate therapeutic principles and techniques into actionable classroom strategies, helping educators support children with serious emotional and behavioural difficulties more effectively. This practical guide bridges the worlds of therapy and education, equipping teachers with valuable skills traditionally reserved for mental health professionals, making it essential reading for anyone working to create supportive learning environments for vulnerable young people.
