Many children have emotional or behavioural problems at some stage and most recover with a little help from those around them. There is evidence however that the number of children with behaviour difficulties is rising and that the heaviest concentration is in inner urban areas where services are already stretched. Although more psychiatric and psychological services are required, most children with troubled behaviour need social and educational solutions rather than health interventions. The best people to help may be those who know the child best. The book looks at developments in assessment, prevention projects and behavioural/cognitive behavioural interventions The book is addressed to front-line workers, social workers, teachers, health visitors, as well as managers and policy makers and updates and revises the 1999 edition.
