These are the sorts of questions that face mental health
practitioners who are increasingly involved in complex child care
cases which come before the courts. They have been given little
guidance to date on how these assessments should be made,
especially where a decision has to be taken as to whether a child
has experienced `significant harm.' In this much needed book senior
clinicians consider the principles and practice of parenting
assessments and how they guide courts' decisions about children's
welfare. They describe a number of frameworks for assessment and
discuss the factors which help predict the risk of future
maltreatment or the likelihood of successful rehabilitation.
Throughout the book the emphasis is on the need to integrate the
assessments of all relevant professionals in order to serve the
best interests of the child, while also addressing the parents'
potential to improve their caretaking skills. Offering guidance in
areas of crucial significance for child, family and professional
alike Assessment of Parenting will be widely welcomed.
