Most children who are fostered or adopted have some level of
contact with their birth family -- whether face-to-face or by
letter -- yet most of the time the psychological impact of contact
on the child isn't considered. This book explores what attachment,
neuroscience and trauma tell us about how contact affects children,
and shows how poorly executed contact can be unhelpful or even
harmful to the child. Assessment frameworks are provided which take
the child's developmental needs into account. The authors also
outline a model for managing and planning contact to make it more
purposeful and increase its potential for therapeutic benefit. The
book covers the challenges presented by the internet for managing
contact, unique issues for children in kinship care, problems that
arise when adoptive parents separate and many other key issues for
practice. Brimming with practical advice and creative solutions,
this is an indispensable tool for social workers, contact centre
workers, and other professionals involved in contact arrangements
or the therapeutic support of fostered and adopted children.
