Testing Children: A Practitioners Guide to Assessment of Mental Development in Infants and Young Children
It includes, but also goes beyond, an explanation of the psychometric expertise required to use such tests.
Beginning with an exploration of the nature of mental development itself, the author explains how the very presence of the assessor impacts on the assessment process both in terms of perceptual idiosyncrasies and in terms of the effectiveness with which the interpersonal dynamics between child, carer and assessor are managed.
This is a holistic guide to skilled observation, accurate interpretation, and effective reporting, which equips the reader to derive accurate conclusions in the best interests of the particular needs of the child under assessment.
The Author
Phyllis Preston ? AFBPsS, C.
Psychol (Clinical/Educational) ? read Psychology at University College London with Cyril Burt then gained her postgraduate clinical training at the Maudsley Hospital, London Institute of Psychiatry with Hans Eysenck and Monte Shapiro.
She has enjoyed a long career in applied psychology within a wide variety of settings: University Departments, National Health Service hospitals, Local Education Authority Psychological Services, schools and social services provisions.
This has enabled her to sample most conditions of physical handicap, mental disorders, social deprivation, and of their consequent problems, and learn the therapies available to help relieve them.
Her experience has led her to view the mental field as a reactive determinant of malfunction in children (and adults), such as observed in learning, affective, and behaviour disorders often compounded by the deficits/ deprivations of social inequality.
Her special interest in the very young was established early and still holds; she continues to teach the skill of assessing mental development to professionals working in the applied fields of psychology and paediatrics.

Street Children in Kenya - Voices of Children in Search of a Childhood
As kinship relationships and support networks across family lines weaken with modernization, economic stressors take a great toll on children.
Kenya, like some other nations in Africa and around the globe, has witnessed a rapid rise in street children.
The street children in Nairobi come from single parent families which are mostly headed by women.
Another group are AIDS orphans.
This study documents how street children in Nairobi follow survival strategies including (for boys) collecting garbage, and (for girls), prostitution.
Gender is emphasized throughout the book.
Although impoverished families are the most likely to produce street children, not all poor families have their children on the streets.
The problem of street children is a complex one that calls for a comprehensive and coordinated policy and program for intervention at all levels and in all sectors of society.
Alleviating poverty and rebuilding the family institution should be among the first steps in addressing the problem.

From Childrens Services to Childrens Spaces - Public Policy, Children and Childhood
More than ever before, children are apparently being recognised as social actors and citizens.
Yet public policy often involves increased control and surveillance of children.
This book explores the contradiction.
It shows how different ways of thinking about children produce different childhoods, different public provisions for children (including schools) and different ways of working with children.
It argues that how we understand children and make public provision for them involves political and ethical choices.
Through case studies and the analysis of policy and practice drawn from a number of countries, the authors describe an approach to public provision for children which they term childrens services.
They then propose an alternative approach named childrens spaces, and go on to consider an alternative theory, practice and profession of work with children: pedagogy and the pedagogue.
This ground breaking book will be essential reading for tutors and students on higher education or in-service courses in early childhood, education, play, social work and social policy, as well as practitioners and policy makers in these areas.
