Understanding communication beyond speech
Jeanne Magagna’s book examines work with non-talking children who have retreated from the outside world and are receiving care in hospital. It centers on the challenges involved in depending on another person to receive communication, even when that communication does not take the form of speech. The emphasis is on helping adults understand these children’s difficulties with compassion, making the book relevant to both family relationships and professional care. Its scope is specific: communication and connection with children described as emotionally regressed and non-talking.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Parents seeking a framework for understanding non-speaking children’s communication difficulties.
- Professionals working with children in hospital or therapeutic settings.
- Readers interested in child and adolescent psychotherapy and communication beyond speech.
