Therapeutic Residential Care for Children and Youth

Living on the Edge
EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY licence. Young people transitioning out of care towards independence, work and adulthood are on the edge of these phases of life. Considering previously neglected groups of care leavers such as unaccompanied migrants, street youth, those leaving residential care, young parents and those with a disability, this book presents cutting-edge research from emerging global scholars. The collection addresses the precarity experienced by many care leavers, who often lack the social capital and resources to transition into stable education, employment and family life. Including the voices of care leavers throughout, it makes research relevant to practitioners and policymakers aiming to enable, rather than label, vulnerable groups.

Investigating interactions: The dynamics of relationships between clients and professionals in child welfare The International Journal of Child and Family Welfare (IJCFW) is an official publication of the European Scientific Association on Residential and Family Care for Children and Adolescents (EUSARF). The journal is a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed publication. The International Journal of Child and Family Welfare publishes empirical papers (including meta-analyses) and review papers, dealing with issues related to all fields of child and family welfare and with issues related to child and youth care (e.g., home-based care, family foster care, residential youth care).

Neurocognitive Profiling of Children with Specific or Comorbid Reading Disabilities
This study concerns the question whether different reading-related neurocognitive profiles can be observed for reading proficiency based groups of children, who attend the upper levels of Dutch primary education. Besides distinguishing between normal-to-good reading children and children with Reading Disabilities (RD), subgroups are discerned for two frequently reported comorbidities of RD, i.e., Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Specific Language Impairment (SLI). The research of this PhD thesis is organized into two empirical sections on different branches of reading-related neurocognitive research, which are elaborated in five studies. The first section focuses on the co...
Top-down Community Building and the Politics of Inclusion
This book explores mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion involved in practices of community building through an ethnographic study of a neighborhood restaurant in Amsterdam. It presents important insights into the advantages and empowering effects of professional, top down community building in a disadvantaged neighborhood, as well as its tensions and contradictory outcomes. The core argument of the study is that, in spite of the abserved restaurant's well-intended and well-organized attempts to create an inclusive and heterogeneous local community, it instead established one both exclusive and homogeneous. Through a set of community building practices and discourses of "deprivation" and "et...

Jeugdzorg met een plus
Deze publicatie gaat over tien jaar JeugdzorgPlus: 2008-2017. Over jongeren met zeer complexe gedragsproblemen die zich aan hulp onttrekken of daaraan onttrokken worden. En over de manier waarop zij het beste geholpen kunnen worden. De jongeren om wie het gaat, zijn vaak geen ‘lieverdjes’; ze worstelen met veel negatieve invloeden uit hun omgeving. Daarom kunnen vrijheidsbeperkende maatregelen nodig zijn als onderdeel van de behandeling, maar alleen als er gevaar is en er geen alternatieven zijn. JeugdzorgPlus staat niet op zichzelf. Effectieve zorg gaat namelijk niet alleen over residentiële behandeling, maar ook over de periode daarvoor en daarna. Besluiten over deze jongeren en over JeugdzorgPlus mogen niet lichtzinnig worden genomen. Hulp aan hen is topsport. Kennis over deze jongeren is daarom belangrijk voor iedereen die met hen te maken heeft: van jeugd-/wijkteams, jeugdbeschermers en pedagogisch medewerkers tot studenten, gemeentelijk beslissers en kinderrechters. Vanuit persoonlijke betrokkenheid en ervaring met deze jongeren is de oproep van de auteurs: deel kennis met elkaar en maak er samen meer van.
Pedagogiek in beeld
Pedagogiek in beeld biedt een kijkje in de wetenschappelijke keuken van de pedagogiek en is daarmee een inleiding in de studie van opvoeding, onderwijs en hulpverlening. Het boek geeft een helder beeld van enkele belangrijke uitkomsten van pedagogisch onderzoek in Nederland en laat zien hoe die resultaten tot stand zijn gekomen. Daarbij komen de belangrijkste werkvelden aan bod: algemene pedagogiek, gezinspedagogiek, orthopedagogiek, leerproblemen en onderwijspedagogiek. Concrete voorbeelden van onderzoek maken duidelijk wat de pedagogiek heeft gepresteerd en wat in de toekomst van deze discipline mag worden verwacht.
Jeugdige delinquenten
Dit boek laat zien welke vooroordelen over criminele jongeren kloppen en met welke we beter kunnen afrekenen. Het maakt duidelijk hoe factoren als etniciteit, vrienden, opvoeding en woonplek de ontwikkeling van crimineel gedrag beïnvloeden. Het boek is geschreven voor studenten, beleidsmakers, juristen en professionals in de jeugdzorg. Jeugdige delinquenten beschrijft jeugdcriminaliteit aan de hand van interviews met hulpverleners, wetenschappers, juristen en jongeren. Ook geeft het uitleg over onderzoek, theorieën, programma’s en methoden, en wisselt dat af met verhalen uit de advocatuur. Zo biedt het een brede blik op de complexiteit van delinquentie vanuit pedagogisch, psychologisch, ...
