Where appropriate, entires are accompanied by a brief bibliography. Useful addresses and contact numbers are also provided. The book should be useful to all teachers, mentors, social workers, educational social workers, educational psychologists, counsellors, care workers, students and other professionals and voluntary workers in allied fields.
