Social Science and Psychotherapy for Children

Contributions of the Behavior Sciences to Practice in a Psychoanalytically Oriented Child Guidance Clinic
Author
Otto Pollak
Ebook
Publication Date
254 pages

About This Book

Social Science and Psychotherapy for Children was a study undertaken jointly by the Russell Sage Foundation and the Jewish Board of Guardians under direction of Dr. Otto Pollak, a faculty member of the University of Pennsylvania, who was made available by the foundation as social science consultant to the Board’s Child Guidance Institute. With many specific cases as illustrations, Dr. Pollak and his collaborators show ways in which the social sciences may enrich child therapy. They examine the implications of family structure, social interaction, anxiety, extra-familial influences, culture conflicts, and age-sex factors. They also consider the effective use of volunteers in treatment and the occasional necessity for setting limited treatment goals.

Collaborators: Bertram J. Black, Dorothy Dunaeff, Yonata Feldman, Bernice Wolf Frechtman, Maurice R. Friend, Lia Knoepfmacher, Bettina Lehnert, Frederika Neumann, S. R. Slavson

About This Book

The work which this book describes had its beginning in the year 1949 when the Russell Sage Foundation and the Jewish Board of Guardians entered into an agreement to conduct a joint project to explore whether cooperation between social scientists and clinicians in child guidance practice could prove to be of mutual benefit. Specifically, it aimed to investigate the contribution potential of the existing funds of social science knowledge to child guidance practice, as well as the research needs encountered by child guidance workers which could be met by social scientists.
