Description
A Straight Talking Introduction to Children's Mental Health Problems is a thought-provoking critique of the way Western societies approach children's behaviour. Consultant child psychiatrist Sami Timimi argues that medication is often used as a quick fix, rather than a long-term solution, and offers a more humane alternative that focuses on understanding and addressing the underlying causes of distress.
This updated edition provides practical advice and guidance for parents, carers, and teachers who want to support children's mental health and wellbeing. By challenging the status quo and presenting a child-centred approach, Timimi provides a valuable resource for anyone working with children.
With its accessible and straightforward language, this book is an essential read for anyone who wants to make a positive difference in the lives of children.
