Outlining the challenges of working in a multi-disciplinary context, this book provides key theoretical cocepts and describes how to conduct joint assessments and design, deliver and evaluate interventions. Taking a life-span approach to working with children of all ages from infant to adolescents, the key emphasis of the book is on the prevention of children's emotional and behavioural difficulties through effective interdisciplinary working.
