Attachment in Special Populations - Audio CD
"Attachment in Special Populations: Supporting Attachment in Adoption/Foster Care Settings and Cultural Implications" by Drs. Pratibha Reebye, Deborah Bell and Vanessa Lapointe.
Attachment plays the vital and pivotal role in the development of young children in foster care, adoption and culturally diverse families. Professionals are often faced with cultural considerations with children in foster care and adoption settings. The factors that influence the attachment relationship and the long-term implications of this relationship for child development will be explored. The challenges faced by these young children in terms of developing healthy attachment relationships are then presented. We will suggest strategies to help young children in foster care/adoption towards positive outcomes. You will gain a new level of understanding for working with these young children and for advocating for system change from an attachment perspective.
