New book on preventing child development problems

A new book edited by Unit Director Michael Little and Barbara Maughan, from the Institute of Psychiatry, London, sets out the current state of knowledge on 'what works, for whom, when and why' when it comes to preventing and addressing child development problems.

Published by Ashgate as part of its Library of Essays in Child Welfare and Development, Effective Interventions for Children in Need brings together key journal articles by leading intervention scientists from around the world on subjects including the effectiveness of universal and targeted programmes, the relationship between need and services, and long-term outcomes of interventions.
 
Other books in the series look at child development, the law and child development, children's services in the developing world, children in state care, and defining and classifying children in need.
