Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Books can help child welfare professionals who work with children of alcoholics as an adjunct to other therapies and interventions. Fiction books used in bibliotherapy and nonfiction books directed at the COA, adult, and professional communities can all serve useful purposes. As with any other technique, there are limitations to its effectiveness. Children who are good readers and/or used to finding solutions for other kinds of needs in books will probably profit most. When combined judiciously with personal interaction, however, books can help professionals break through COAs' defensive barriers and meet the special needs of this difficult-to-reach, at-risk population. |
