Definition Child Guidance was both an evolving 20th-century social construct, sometimes called the Child Guidance Movement, and an influential network of multidisciplinary clinics set up to address the problems of childhood and adolescence. 3
Introduction It was the first child-centred institutional response to meet perceived child and youth behavioural and mental disorders. It therefore predated the advent of child psychiatry as a medical specialism and of distinct child psychiatric departments as part of modern hospital settings. 4
History of Child Guidance The movement can be dated to 1906 Chicago as a response to juvenile delinquency, when the city was at the forefront of progressive ideas about legislation and treatment. Striving towards civic advancement and supported by the city's interested professionals such as teachers, social workers, lawyers, academics, doctors, community leaders and politicians, the Juvenile Courts and correctional institutions ended the incarceration of children with adults. 6
History of Child Guidance England's first child guidance clinic was "The East London Child Guidance Clinic" opened on 21 November 1927, under the direction of Dr Emanuel Miller, with assistance from Meyer Fortes. It was established by the Jewish Health Organisation, aided by the LCC, to help children deemed to have emotional, behavioural and educational difficulties. 7
History of Child Guidance The Clinic was located in the former Jews Free School in Bell Lane, Spitalfields.[10] A second clinic, the London Child Guidance Clinic, opened under Dr William Moodie in 1929 in Islington. It became the country's main centre for training in child guidance. The first child guidance clinic to open in a voluntary hospital was at Guy's Hospital, London in 1930. 8
History of Child Guidance The initial model adopted by child guidance clinics in England was to act as a child and adolescent assessment centre staffed by a lead physician, later a child psychiatrist, assisted by an educational psychologist, or sometimes a clinical psychologist and trained social workers. Referrals would come in the main from schools, nurseries, (juvenile) magistrates, police, general practitioners and parents. 9
Mission of Child Guidance Restoring and Strengthening Emotional Wellbeing of Children and Families : Beyond the families best effort to give their child an accomplishing and joyous life, the journey of all children do not follow an expected pathway. Some children experience sadness, guilt, worthlessness, fear or respond to others in anger, may harm themselves or others and the like. 10
Mission of Child Guidance Some children may be limited in their attention concentration, ability to stay focused, ability to learn academics, social skills, peer relationships.
