Residential Treatment A Cooperative, Competency-Based Approach to Therapy and Program Design

Proposing a framework for residential treatment based on the principle of solution-focused therapy, this book sees the process as a co-operative one involving clients, parents and staff, with the aim of helping children and adolescents, and their families, develop new views of themselves as competent. A central rites of passage metaphor suggests that placement is a period of transition, when children can experiment with new ways of behavior.Durrant, Michael is the author of 'Residential Treatment A Cooperative, Competency-Based Approach to Therapy and Program Design' with ISBN 9780393701548 and ISBN 0393701549.
