Abstract: | Not all children in ordinary schools with emotional problems need intensive psychotherapy from specialists. The majority can be helped by class teachers who exercise extended pastoral care. Some others will need the help of a skilled worker trained and experienced in skills of individual counselling. But there area few children - a significant few - who do need specialised help. It may sometimes be possible for them to receive this help in the ordinary school, without removal to a special school or referral to some outside agency such as a Child Guidance Service, if use is made of a special adjustment unit. Some conceptual problems in relation to maladjustment are discussed; reference is made to national surveys indicating the prevalence of the problem in the school-child population; and a model of management for children in ordinary schools is outlined, based on work carried out in Bristol over the past seven years, with particular reference to special adjustment units. |
