In recent decades, courts have turned increasingly to mental
health professionals to assist them in evaluating the many factors
that are relevant to laws concerning the care and protection of
children and termination of parental rights. At the same time, the
legal system has challenged the role of experts by setting high
admissibility standards for scientific integrity and objectivity in
forensic consultation and assessment practice. The purpose of this
book is to lay the foundation for solid conceptual and
methodological approaches for mental health professionals in
offering effective responses to legal standards and to the needs of
individuals regarding care and protection issues. Although
termination of parental rights cases are the predominant focus of
the book, attention also is given to consultation and evaluations
for service planning purposes, the impact of maltreatment on
children, diagnostic and treatment planning, issues of family
process, amenability to treatment, potential family reunification,
and post-termination pre-adoption questions.
Offering ways to integrate theory and research into practice,
this volume provides conceptual models for consultation and
assessment that make it relevant for a number of related
disciplines.
