Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The work of professionals with children with disabilities affects the children's family, while events at home affect what professionals can achieve with the children. This text describes how professionals can form collaborative relationships with the parents of the children in their care, to optimise the children's development and to enable both family members and professionals to work in the children's interests. It describes experiences of families who have a child with a disability and takes a new look at old assumptions that disability necessarily has a negative effect on families or that families themselves are in need of therapy simply by virtue of having a child with additional needs.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Mother-child and father-child psychology is a psychodynamic - developmental approach to relatively short-term treatment of relational disturbances in young children. The mother-child, father-child and mother-father dyads meet in weekly meetings with the same therapist in the same physical set up.The therapist as a participant observer in recurrent patterns of interactions and relations within the dyads, explicitly conveys to each parent that his/her unique role to their child is to be respected and validated. The approach is practised as a diagnostic assessment tool to help in the placing of pathology, as a preparation, in some cases, for individual therapy for the child or simultaneous treatment for child and parent, and as a treatment of choice for the relational disturbances between parents and their developmentally prelatency children. This book provides an overview of theoretical similarities and differences in basic aspects of the parent-child therapies, and offers a detailed description of the main features of a new model that enhances the parents' and the child's experiential learning.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Volume 3 of Annual Surfactants Review focuses on the diversity of surfactants, both in terms of chemical structure and physico-chemical / surface active properties. These properties may be predictable for simple molecules, but for most commercial surfactants (which may be regarded as multi-component blends) this is not so easy. In the first chapter of this volume, detailed consideration is given to surfactant applications in the context of structure-performance relationships. The end uses of surface active agents are classified by industrial sector and the surfactant properties required for each application are presented in detail. The result is a unique guide to the influence of chemical structure on performance in end use. Many applications of surfactants feature formulations which incorporate polymeric materials. The topic of surfactant-polymer interactions is receiving considerable attention at present and so a chapter has been included on this area. In an attempt to illustrate the diversity of surfactant uses and focus on some of the latest developments in application technology, five areas of application are presented: natural surfactants for drug delivery systems, surfactants used in the construction industry, preparation and end uses of inverse emulsions (for example, as flocculants), the use of surfactants in plastics flotation (part of the plastics recycling process) and the role of surfactants in 'dynamic wetting'.
