When working with children, an understanding of the social interactions and relationships which influence emotional growth and learning is essential. Emotional Growth and Learning clarifies these processes and serves as a practical and theoretical resource for the training of teachers and other professionals. Paul Greenalgh draws on case studies from his own experience to illustrate the relevant concepts of Jungian, psychoanalytic and humanistic psychology . Individual and group exercises help adults to explore their own participation in the growth and learning processes and the book's multi-disciplinary approach and accessible style will appeal to teachers, parents and those working in clinical psychology, counselling and social work.

A timely contribution to the debate, this book clarifies the processes involved in social interactions and relationships whilst serving as a practical and theoretical resource for teachers and other professionals.
