Sommario/riassunto

For school professionals seeking to work in emotionally focused ways with children, Psychodynamic Perspectives on Working with Children, Families, and Schools offers a wide range of essays illustrating how



psychodynamic ideas can be used to validate children, respect the contexts of their families and communities, and create non-authoritarian classrooms and schools in which such children might develop to their fullest potential.
