This updated edition of The Handbook of Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy reflects the many changes in the profession. It includes:








additional chapters on neuroscience, work with `looked after children' and with foster parents, working in schools
enlarged chapters on research, attachment theory, work with parents, and developments in child and adolescent psychotherapy around the world
chapters on areas of specialist interest including violence, sexual abuse and abusing, trauma, parent-infant psychotherapy, autism, victims of political violence, delinquency and gender dysphoria.





The Handbook remains accessible and jargon-free. It will be a valuable resource for all who work in allied professions where the emotional well-being of children is of concern - health, education, social services - as well as trainee psychotherapists and experienced practitioners.
