Intuition is not Enough - Matching Learning with Practice in Therapeutic Child Care (Paperback)

Designed as a guide for trainers and academic staff as well as for practitioners working with the most disturbed children and young people, this book seeks to explore the connections between the challenges of practice and of learning. The book introduces the matching principle - the principle that, in order to be successful, training for any field of practice should match or reflect key aspects of that practice in terms of personal and professional experience as well as academic content.
