Die Kinder- und Jugendarbeit

More than 20 years ago, the only comprehensive introduction to child and youth work to date was published. In the now updated version, this socio-educational field of work is presented in an introductory, conceptual and empirically based manner. Child and youth work continues to be one of the most attractive fields of socio-educational action. This volume provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the field of child and youth work and presents it as a field of work for educational professions. The history, the law and the structures of the institutions are described clearly and concisely, and the theories, concepts and methods, the addressees and employees of child and youth work are introduced. The book thus offers an introductory outline of child and youth work for students at universities and a reference work for questions that practitioners of child and youth work ask themselves in everyday life.
