Child Welfare and Adoption Attachment and Relationship Dynamics Psychosocial Factors Impacting Youth

Abstract

The maternal self‐reflective function was assumed to affect maternal perceptions of adopted children's adjustment. In a sample of Israeli mothers of school‐aged, non‐referred children, self‐reflectiveness scores were found to discriminate between adoptive (N= 50) and non‐adoptive (N= 80) participants, and affect the rate of perceived externalizing behaviors. Specific protective and risk factors that characterize adoptive motherhood are discussed, indicating their implications for therapeutic intervention.
