Description: Although a few textbooks have been written about working with young children in practice settings, until now none has provided the theoretical framework and concrete help necessary for working with children from the first years through adolescence.

In response to this pressing need, Dr. Theresa Aiello of New York University has written Child and Adolescent Treatment for Social Work Practice: A Relational Perspective for Beginning Clinicians. Infused with authority, wisdom, and caring that have resulted from twenty-five years of agency, community, and clinical practice, consultation, and classroom teaching, Dr.

Aiello introduces and covers comprehensively all the major therapeutic issues and treatment modalities, including play, family, and group therapy. Child and Adolescent Treatment for Social Work Practice clearly demonstrates the intricacies of therapy for students and seasoned practitioners alike. Child therapists, social work students, and guidance counselors will all find this text to be an invaluable guide to their chosen occupation.
