Child Welfare and Adoption Attachment and Relationship Dynamics Counseling, Therapy, and Family Dynamics

Abstract

Adoption revelation and ongoing communication can be problematic in some adoptive families. The authors examine these issues from a cognitive perspective. Case illustrations are presented from an exploratory study of adopted adolescents in residential treatment. A guide for assessing communication problems is presented and interventive methods are suggested for use by adoption workers and other mental health professionals.
