Download or read book Child Mental Health Practice from the Ecological Perspective written by Richard L. Munger and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 1991 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ecological perspective is a contextual approach which works at the interface between families and the broader ecology or ecosystem of the child; the approach is not new but has not been widely adopted due to the lack of illustrative material available for practitioners. Through an approach more descriptive and explanatory than empirical, the author shows the clinician (or other child care professional) why the child's environment is crucial and provides techniques to draw people in the child's environment into the healing process.
