Audio Book Understanding the Trauma of Children from Institutions. A training manual for case workers. All Chapters

Description

In this collection of MP3 files the author of ‘Understanding the Trauma of Children from Institutions. A training manual for case workers’ reads out all 17 chapters and the Conclusion of the book. The audio version of the manual may help make the material more accessible for people with visual impairments, people better able to understand spoken English than written English, and those who have the time to listen while doing activities, but not to sit down and read the book.

The choice was made to let you buy the 17 chapters in one order, without putting them all together in a 13h audiobook. This is mostly because the training manual is designed to continue to be used for reference after having gone through it all the first time. In an audiobook comprising all chapters, it would become hard to find your way back to specific issues when you want to listen to them again.The chapters are:

Part I:    Understanding the Underlying Processes

Chapter 1            Why This Book and Who For?

Chapter 2            Managing Expectations

Chapter 3            How the Brain Develops

Chapter 4            How Stress Works

Part II:   What Happened to the Child?

Chapter 5            Attachment

Chapter 6            Physical Contact

Chapter 7            Attention and Stimulation

Chapter 8            Isolation from the Community

Chapter 9            High Risks

Chapter 11         Challenging Behaviour

Chapter 12         Self-Harm

Chapter 13         Health Problems

Chapter 15         Providing Felt Safety

Chapter 16         Communicating with the Child

Conclusion

No transcript is provided for the chapters, because the training manual itself forms the transcript, so those preferring to read, can order a hard or soft copy of that. You are also referred to the book itself for the glossary, the endnotes and reference and for the index. You can find links to order a hard copy on the Publication page of this website and you can order a soft copy here in the web shop.

When your order has been processed, you will receive an email with links to download the MP3 files of all the chapters. You can only use this link once to download the files, but can then listen to it as often as you wish.
