Children are one of the most important phase of human development and
the most important target group for social work intervention. Most of
the schools of human development and social work round the world have an
elective course on children and some offer a concentration in this area.
There are plenty of textbooks on intervention with children published by
Western authors, focusing on useful theories and skills but mainly at
the remedial level. They neither use the preventative approach nor the
child rights perspective, which has been found useful in the developing
nations. The books on child rights are generally published by the United
Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and other international organisations
working in the field of children such as Save the Children. These books
focus on the useful child rights perspective but they neither integrate
theories nor use the preventative approach. The proposed book A
Rights-based Preventative Approach for Children's Psychosocial
Well-Being: will be the first to apply the child rights perspective and
the preventative approach to intervention for children's psychosocial
well-being. It is an integration of theories with practice and teaching
relevant in different parts of the world. The book is divided into the
following three parts: Part 1: Introduction to a Rights-based
Preventative Approach for Children's Psychosocial Well-Being.- Part 2:
Primary Prevention for Children's Psychosocial Well-Being.- Part 3:
Secondary and Tertiary Prevention for Children's Psychosocial Well-Being
