Joining Forces: Therapeutic Factors in Education

Staff members in residential child and youth welfare work in a particularly challenging area of social work. They face the daily challenge of reinterpreting the balance between closeness and distance, tirelessly offering opportunities for connection, profound general knowledge, detailed expertise, and personal life experience. The author aims to acknowledge this commitment and draw upon proven therapeutic knowledge: Integrative Therapy has long explored healing and effective factors for successful biopsychosocial development. The book relates these to factors in education and presents them through a simulation game across 14 creative stations in social pedagogy-to successfully apply the expertise from both disciplines, psychotherapy and education, in everyday professional practice by "joining forces".
