Attachment and Trauma

FOR PROFESSIONALS

Revealing the Inner World of Traumatised Children and Young People

NEW

An Attachment-Informed Model for Assessing Emotional Needs and Treatment Christine Bradley with Francia Kinchington Foreword by Judith Trowell

A guide to understanding the emotional needs of traumatised children, featuring a unique attachment-informed assessment and treatment model.

Bringing together the latest research and theory about a child’s inner world and the impact of the world around them, this is a guide to understanding and responding to the emotional needs of traumatised children.

Founded on the principle that traumatised children do not have a secure sense of self and therefore cannot relate to the outside world without becoming overwhelmed, this book brings psychoanalytic and psychodynamic understandings of child psychology together with current neuroscience and trauma theory. At the heart of the book is an attachmentinformed assessment model and guidance for treatment.

Professionals working therapeutically with traumatised children, including therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health workers, social workers and residential care workers, will benefit from the wealth of knowledge and valuable practice guidance presented in this book.

Children need to be able to disclose their experiences of sexual abuse in order to stop the abuse and get help.

The book explores challenges in facilitating and responding to disclosures of abuse, such as: how to recognise the signs, ask the right questions and react to a disclosure.

Improve your assessments of foster carers, kinship carers and adoptive parents to increase placement quality and stability.

Assessing prospective adoptive parents, foster carers, kinship carers and special guardians is an extremely complex task, and one that happens within a pressurized time frame.

Currently, assessments draw substantially on interviews, which can generate a lot of information but little analysis to enable professionals to establish a meaningful understanding of parenting capacity. Children with histories of trauma, loss and hurt need to join families in which parents exhibit the ability to be good at relationships, are able to manage their own stress and bond with the child in their care. Now fully updated and expanded to cover the assessment of kinship carers and special guardians, this book combines the latest findings from neuroscience with research on what makes good assessments and provides guidance and tools for making thorough, analytical and effective assessments.

With contributions from leading experts including Dan Hughes, Jonathan Baylin, Kim Golding and Julie Selwyn, it will provide you with the information you need to ensure the best possible chance of placement success.

WORLD RIGHTS AVAILABLE • ISBN-9781849056687 EISBN-9781784501723

Research-based initiatives for improving the mental health of children in care.

Combining contemporary research with practice findings, this book shows how we can improve the mental health of children in care.

Expert contributors highlight the challenges that children face and propose innovative models of practice which have been proven to improve outcomes. The book describes the difficulties children in care commonly encounter, such as vulnerability to self-harm, substance misuse or inappropriate sexual behaviour.

It goes on to explore therapeutic interventions, such as art therapy or integrative therapy, which can be used to address the root of these behaviours. With a range of clinical and practical perspectives, it also makes recommendations for further training for foster carers, for reinforcing professional support networks and for all agencies to have a developed understanding of cultural considerations when working with children in care.

Those committed to improving the mental health of children and young people in care, such as psychologists, psychiatrists, CAMHS professionals and social workers, will find this book an invaluable source of evidence and inspiration.

A pioneering therapeutic parenting model to help children recover from abuse or neglect.

How can we help heal children who have been abused or neglected?

Healing Child Trauma Through Restorative Parenting details how children can be helped to recover with the use of Restorative Parenting, an innovative model informed by psychological and neurological understanding of trauma and its effects. It explains the critical role that people, relationships and the environment play in a child’s recovery. It shows what constitutes a therapeutic environment, whereby a child experiences therapy not as oneto-one sessions but as a lived experience. The authors show how other components of the model – building therapeutic relationships, promoting positive education and encouraging clinically informed life style choices – are intimately linked, each critical to the re-parenting which the child undergoes.

This book will be welcomed by professionals working with children, including those in residential, health and foster care, psychology, education and health, as well as those commissioning services. The models, concepts and practices are transferable to public, private and charitable agencies.

Photocopiable resource explaining the key principles of restorative practice and the practical implications of implementing the approach with young people in care.

Education and Schools

Attachment and Emotional Development in the Classroom

NEW

Theory and Practice Edited by David Colley and Paul Cooper Foreword by Barry Carpenter

What every teacher needs to know about pupils’ emotional development.

As of 2016 the Department for Education (DfE) want to ensure all trainee teachers have an understanding of emotional development and attachment, and so this book presents the key concepts that are essential for training in this area to ensure all teachers are up to date.

Attachment issues and mental health have a huge impact on pupils’ performance and so an understanding of young people’s emotional development is crucial for any teacher. Increasing teachers understanding and skills around emotional development can prevent many long term mental health difficulties in our schools and in our communities.

Key topics such as attachment theory, emotion coaching, tackling disruptive behaviour and the trauma continuum are introduced and explained, with advice and tips for a classroom setting offered throughout. The experiences of practitioners in the field are presented alongside those of researchers, offering a range of diverse perspectives including education, psychology and health. This is an essential text for trainee and practising teachers.

“David Colley and Paul Cooper have brought together an important and highly engaging set of contributions to the topic of attachment and emotional development in the classroom. The text grounds recent research in the reality of classroom activity and it will make a very important contribution to the development of practice in schools and the reflections of those who are preparing for professional engagement with some of the most vulnerable young people in our society.”

– Professor Harry Daniels, Department of Education, Oxford University

A compilation of experiences surrounding trauma and bereavement in marginalised groups of young people with reflections on how educators can help.

It is increasingly challenging for teachers to educate without a deeper understanding of the experience of their students. This is particularly the case in marginalised groups of young people who are subject to loss, grief, trauma and shame. Through a snapshot of the diverse student populous, this book explores the impact of these experiences on a student’s learning and success. Topics covered include poverty, obesity, incarceration, immigration, death, sexual exploitation, LGBT issues, psychodrama, the expressive arts, resilience, and military students.

Becoming an Adoption-Friendly School

NEW

A Whole-School Resource for Supporting Children Who Have Experienced Trauma or Loss – With Complementary Downloadable Material Dr. Emma Gore Langton and Katherine Boy Foreword by Claire Eastwood

Essential resource for schools on how to improve support for adopted children, with photocopiable and downloadable material.

Adopted children who have experienced loss, abuse or neglect need additional support for their emotional development, and are more likely to have special educational needs. This useful resource provides a complete plan for creating adoption-friendly environments in primary, secondary and specialist schools.

The book is grounded on new research which gathered together testimonies from over 400 school staff members, adoptive parents and adoption specialists. With realistic consideration of pressures and limitations currently faced by schools, it gives advice on eight key areas for school development, including communicating with parents, training staff, using resources wisely and recognising children’s individual needs. Completing the toolkit is a broad selection of photocopiable and downloadable plans for establishing adoption-friendly frameworks, and for demonstrating good practice to staff, pupils, families and school inspectors.

“This excellent comprehensive guide has been compiled with tremendous insight into the challenges faced by adopted children and those who live and work with them. Informative, accessible and authoritative, it gives educators the practical tools to implement a more empathic and thoughtful approach in their schools.”

– Daniela Szmigielska Shanly, proprietor/founder of Beech Lodge School and adoptive parent

Guide to drafting a life story book work which aims to reinforce the child’s sense of belonging and security.

Through words, pictures, photographs, certificates and other ‘little treasures’, a Life Story Book provides a detailed account of the child’s early history and a chronology of their life.

Fully updated, this clear and concise book shows a unique family-friendly way to compile a Life Story Book which promotes a sense of permanency for the child, and encourages attachments within new families. Joy Rees’ influential model works chronologically backwards rather than forwards, aiming to reinforce the child’s sense of belonging and security before addressing the child’s past and early trauma. The book contains simple explanations of complex concepts, practical examples, helpful suggestions and includes some simple checklists. This new edition has been expanded to include fostered children and those living in kinship care or with a special guardian.

Perfect for social workers, adoption agencies, adoptive parents, foster carers and kinship carers, Life Story Books for Adopted and Fostered Children is a refreshing, innovative and common-sense guide.

“Joy Rees has the gift of explaining theoretical concepts in a straightforward and jargon-free manner and of empowering adults – whether social workers, adopters or foster carers – to feel confident in tackling what is a complex and sensitive task.”

101 mindfulness-based therapeutic activities to do with children aged 5–17 who have experienced extreme trauma and abuse.

Many children who have experienced serious trauma are withdrawn and closed off, making it difficult to engage with them in therapy effectively.

From useful techniques for bridging memory gaps to using masks for self-expression, the innovative activities use mindfulness, art and play to help children feel relaxed and responsive. The activities require very little preparation, and use only everyday items that are easy to access and can be used time and time again. Case studies throughout offer a helpful demonstration of how the activities work in practice.

This is an ideal resource for use with children in therapeutic, home and school settings who have experienced trauma, physical abuse, sexual abuse, forced migration and severe neglect, as well as those with acute depression, anxiety and behavioural difficulties.

Everyday Parenting with Security and Love

NEW

Using PACE to Provide Foundations for Attachment Kim S. Golding Illustrated by Alex Barrett Foreword by Dan Hughes

An introduction to parenting children from troubled emotional backgrounds.

Children who have experienced trauma, loss or separation early in life need more than just special care and attention; they need to be parented with love and security in a way that allows them to heal and rebuild emotional bonds. This comprehensive book provides parents and carers with crucial advice and guidance on how to strengthen attachment and trust.

Based on Dan Hughes’ proven ‘PACE’ model of therapeutic parenting, this book explains how to implement PACE techniques to overcome the challenges faced by children who struggle to connect emotionally. Barriers to stable relationships such as a lack of trust, fear of emotional intimacy, and high levels of shame are all explained. It explores techniques to overcome these barriers by teaching how to support the child’s behaviour at the same time as building empathy and trust.

The practical parenting guidance offered throughout is essential for carers or parents of troubled children, and will help build safe, secure emotional relationships.

“An essential read for parents of children who have experienced trauma, loss and separation.”

A simple but sage guide for adults on how to support sensitive boys.

What do Pablo Picasso, Prince and Martin Luther King Jr have in common? All have been described as having been highly sensitive boys and all grew up to be outstanding, sensitive men.

Too often, adults think of sensitive boys as shy, anxious and inhibited. They are measured against society’s ideas about ‘manliness’ -- that all boys are sociable, resilient and have endless supplies of energy. This highly readable guide is for any adult wanting to know how to understand and celebrate sensitive boys. It describes how thinking about boys in such old-fashioned ways can cause great harm, and make a difficult childhood all the more painful.

The book highlights the real strengths shared by many sensitive boys – of being compassionate, highly creative, thoughtful, fiercely intelligent and witty. It also flips common negative clichés about sensitive boys being shy, anxious and prone to bullying to ask instead: what we can do to create a supportive environment in which they will flourish?

Full of simple yet sage advice, this book will help you to encourage boys to embrace their individuality, find their own place in the world, and to be the best they can be.

How to respond to the difficult behaviour of traumatized children and give them the help they need.

The first part of this book guides you using easy to understand language through the latest science and research relating to trauma and its impact on the brain and executive functioning.

The ultimate gender diversity bible, explaining how gender works so everyone can better understand gender identity, roles and expressions.

This helpful guide presents ways we can all better understand gender, and how people can change and express their gender identity. Considering biological and cultural understandings of gender, gender expression, and relationships and sexuality, this is an excellent starting point for anybody thinking about what gender means to them.

How to become an ally to gender expansive children, based on the author’s experience caring for her grandchild.

When Anna Bianchi’s grandchild asked, “Nanny, you do know I’m a girl don’t you?”, Anna recognised this as a pivotal moment in their relationship. She also understood that to fully support her grandchild, who had been declared a boy at birth, she needed to examine her own attitudes, beliefs and assumptions about gender. With reassuring honesty, depth and openness, she draws on her own experience, as well as interviews with gender expansive children and their families, to map out the path to becoming an ally. She explains why a child dressing, playing and communicating in gender fluid ways may feel provocative, how culture reinforces this and how parents and caregivers are frequently left feeling confused and isolated. She provides a step-by-step guide through this experience and explains how to undo and rebuild a personal understanding of gender.

For anyone eager to understand their child’s gender experience, or to learn how best to accept, support and protect them, this book will provide knowledge, reassurance and the confidence to do so.

How can parents and care-givers best support their gender expansive children? Drawing on the author’s own experience with her grandchild, this book encourages adults to redefine their understanding of gender in order to understand and support their child more fully.

Insightful reflections from one family’s experience of raising children amidst gender stereotypes.

Adapted from tweets and blogs the couple kept throughout parenthood, this collection shows how culture, family and even the authors themselves are part of the ‘gender police’ that can influence a child’s identity, and offers ideas for how we can work together to challenge the gender stereotypes that are ingrained in our society.

Foreword by Tony Attwood

An illustrated, practical guide helping young people on the autism spectrum to overcome anxiety.

This book will help you to identify what makes you anxious, and contains heaps of activities to calm your body and mind, stop unhealthy anxiety building up and head off anxious feelings in the future. Did you know that giving your anxiety a silly name (like Dr Dread!) will give you power over it? That pretending you are a jellyfish can make your body feel better? That writing your worries down and jumping on them as hard as you can will help to squash them?

Ideal for children and young people aged 8 to 14, the ideas in this book will help you feel less stressed at home, at school and with friends, and give you healthy habits and coping techniques to last a lifetime.
