Childhood, Well-Being and a Therapeutic Ethos edited by Richard House and Del Loewenthal (Karnac Books, ISBN 978-1855756335)
Reviewed by Dr Maria Robinson, early years consultant and author
This is a timely and extremely interesting book comprising a series of essays by well-known writers and researchers, including the two authors. A foreword by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, sets the tone of the book.
The book is divided into four parts. The first has three essays, including one by Sue Palmer expanding on her theme of a 'toxic childhood', and Bob Reitemeier discusses the recent Children's Society inquiry. Christopher Clouder looks at the challenge of modern childhood and 'our common human sense of responsibility'.
