Creating Environments for Troubled Children

By Douglas Powers

This moving account of the many different aspects of the work of a child psychiatry consultant in therapeutic group child-care programs is a practical, jargon-free treatment of the problems and tested solutions arising in group-care situations. Powers integrates sound principles of therapeutic care through interrelated essays, stories, poems, and photographs to evoke the emotional reality and impact of caring for troubled children.
