AlbakiReads Editorial

A case for early, community-based support for children with emotional difficulties

Drawing on the development of Salt Lake City’s Children’s Center, Agnes M. Plenk documents a psycho-educational, day-treatment group-therapy model for young children whose emotional problems interfere with learning. The book places clinical work alongside the practical realities of running a community agency: limited resources, public support across government levels, and advocacy for children and families. Framed by the founder and former executive director’s experience, it presents an institutional history as well as an account of how early intervention was organized around education and family life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Professionals and students interested in child and adolescent psychotherapy
  • Readers studying early intervention and psycho-educational day-treatment programs
  • Community-agency administrators and advocates working with children and families

Book overview

This volume is the result of the clinical, administrative, and advocacy experience that Dr. Plenk gained during the growth and development of The Children's Center in Salt Lake City. Using the day-treatment group therapy model, young children with emotional problems have been helped to eliminate difficulties that affect their education at a very early age. As a community agency built on a shoestring budget, the state, federal, and local levels have contributed to major improvements in the learning and family life of many individuals associated with The Children's Center. This is their story written by the founder and executive director, now retired.
