The packet of information is intended to help residential workers with disturbed children in the United Kingdom. The first section on theory contains two papers: "Which Children Come Into Residential Care?" (Robin Benians); and "Models of Treatment: Behavioral, Psychodynamic, Cognitive" (Daphne Lennox). The next section contains practical guidance directly related to the therapeutic management of disturbed children with subsections on the basic needs of children, reasons for stealing, innate conflicts in residential placement, and the child in relation to the family and community. The final section contains materials for use in training and discussion including a school evaluation form covering educational arrangements, care arrangements, and staffing/accommodation/resources.
