A child's journey through placement
£12.00
Separation, loss, grief and change are expected parts of the experience of children in placement. How do those who have the responsibility of planning for these children address their needs?
Clear, informative and full of practical ideas and case examples, A child's journey through placement has been widely regarded as a 'classic' read for more than 30 years.
This essential reference book - as relevant and insightful today as when it was first published - contains the theoretical knowledge base and skills necessary for understanding, working with and planning for children and their families. The author, Dr Vera Fahlberg, builds on her considerable experience and practice wisdom and presents informative and comprehensive sections on attachment, separation, child development and helping children move.
This is a recommended text and a must-read for social work students and practitioners working with children and families.

A great book. Very informative and readable with a lot of common sense written – and certainly not just for social workers. Teachers and other professionals as well as parents would find this a really useful read. Worth every penny!
