Description:
The Psychological Impact of Boarding School is a collection of research-based essays answering a range of questions about boarding school and its long-term impact.
Review Quotes:
'A scholarly and nuanced study on the long-term psychological impacts of British boarding schools: while some people thrive in boarding schools, for too many others the adverse psychological impacts last a lifetime.'
Benedict Rattigan
, author and ex-boarder at Eton
'Boarding is often misunderstood and misrepresented, but this invaluable book provides a wide, and evidence-informed, analysis of the sector. Importantly, the authors allow the voices of the former pupils themselves to speak and in doing so reveal a nuanced and complex series of personal narratives. This is a book that should be read not only by those who work in boarding schools, but by anyone involved in education and child psychology.'
