Therapeutic Education: Working alongside troubled and troublesome children

The role of therapy in schools is a topic that has been significantly under-researched and often overlooked. Considering the number of students in full-time education with serious emotional and behavioural difficulties, the skills and tricks used by therapists can be usefully passed on to teachers in the classroom. This book traces a substantial four-year project that applied the principles of therapeutic education in one school setting and exposed how current educational contexts actually contribute to disaffection and disruption of young people's learning. The authors propose a practical model of school and curricular experience, based on therapeutic relationships, that has led to outstanding positive results in school development. With suugestions throughout for tried-and-tested strategies that really work, this book will help professionals turn troubled young people's experience of education from the nightmare it often is, into an adventure with positive results for lifelong learning.

Capitalism in the twentieth century has been marked by periods of persistent bad performance alternating with episodes of good performance. Cornwall and Cornwall draw upon Schumpterian, Institutional and Keynesian economics to investigate how far these swings can be explained as integral to capitalist development. The authors consider the macroeconomic record of the developed capitalist economies over the past 100 years (including rates of growth, inflation and unemployment) as well as the interaction of economic variables with the changing structural features of the economy in the course of industrialization and transformation.

History

Cambridge University Press

This study explains why the OECD economies have been in a high unemployment equilibrium trap for the past 15 years. An institional-analytical framework is adopted to reveal how institutions interact with the economic and political demands of organized interest groups to determine both the difference in performances between countries and the general failure of the OECD economies to recover. Stagnation is traced in the first instance to an unwillingness of countries to employ stimulative Keynesian policies because of their adverse inflation and payments side effects. Underlying this are institutional changes, largely induced by the economic successes of the 1950s and 1960s, that have greatly reduced the ability of policy makers to use aggregate demand and exchange rate policies to stabilize the economy. Further instutional changes induced by governments are required for recovery. Given the radical nature of the required changes, continued long-run stagnation seems assured. (Publisher)
