Description

"In child protection, family support, domestic violence, youth justice... many practitioners and managers struggle to engage clients who resist involvement with services that are needed or offered, often with wearying and dispiriting effect on everyone. These clients may be: children and young people at risk or in need for any reason, including posing a risk to others; parents and carers, who might be caring, violent, abusive, neglectful, abused, at risk or in need themselves, or just not coping; anyone else who abuses or neglects to safeguard a child or young person, in a family, organisation or community. This book's ... chapters offer systematic and evidence-based approaches to work with all such clients in all relevant circumstances."--Book jacket.
