The other twenty-three hours: Child care
work with emotionally disturbed children in a therapeutic milieu
by Albert E.
Trieschmann
Customer Review
This is a classic text for Child and Youth Care professionals. The book
provides both the new and established milieu staff with the skills needed to
provide a healthy and productive �other 23 hours outside the therapy meeting.�
This book should be required reading for all people who work with children. The
central theme is to provide a milieu (an environment rich in therapeutic
exchanges) that meet the developmental needs of troubled children. Every chapter
provides practical activities and methods. This is the type of book you need to
read every year to refresh your mission. Every time you read this book, you will
learn a new �gem.� It is the best book ever written about the management of
troubled child.

Controls from within: Techniques
for the treatment of the aggressive child.
by Fritz Redl & David
Wineman
Customer Reviews
If you work with emotionally disturbed or behaviorally disordered youth you
must have this book in your library. It is the classic work in the field and has
held up for nearly 50 years. Professors in the college where I taught for
several years called this book "the Bible," and for good reason!
Redl & Wineman help the reader to conceptualize the personality and behavior
problems they encountered dealing with a small number of boys in Pioneer House,
a residential facility outside of Detroit. The boys presented numerous behaviors
which today are associated with Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Conduct
Disorder. Redl & Wineman give practical ideas about how to work successfully
with such difficult children. They provide numerous examples that "ring true."
The book is written from an ego-analytic perspective but the language is such
that anyone can readily grasp the authors' ideas. All but a few dyed-in-the-wool
Skinnerians will agree with the common-sense approach Redl & Wineman take
towards their charges.
This book is companion to Redl & Wineman's "Children Who Hate." The reader is
advised to buy both books to gain a full appreciation of the experience and
wisdom that undergirds them.

When we deal with children: Selected writings
by Fritz Redl
Inside This Book
First Sentence:
�The Crisis in the Children's Field� is clearly what it was meant to be: a
utilization of the wonderful opportunity that the president of a
professional organization has to open his mouth wide without the usual
restraints tied to the task of �reading a scientific paper� on a specific
piece of research.
