Attachment Behaviour and the Schoolchild 

Barrett and Trevitt

1991 Routledge, London

This is one of the first books to look at attachment in the classroom and an excellent introduction to the topic. I find the diagrams particularly helpful when introducing attachment theory to professionals for the first time. (TW)

The Uses of Enchantment 

Bettelheim, B

1991 Penguin Books, London

This book was my bible when I first started working in a therapeutic community school for excluded boys (many years/decades ago now!). 

After being freed from a Nazi concentration camp Bettelheim devoted himself to supporting traumatised children. An inspiration! (TW)
