While most mental health and behavioral health
professionals have encountered adoption triad members—birth
parents, adoptive parents, and adopted persons—in their
clinical practice, the vast majority have had no formal or
informal training on adoption issues. The Handbook of
Adoption: Implications for Researchers, Practitioners, and
Families is the first book to specifically address the many
dimensions of adoption-related issues which can and do
affect adoption triad members, specifically in the United
States.
Key Features:
Includes contributions from nationally known experts:
Prominent authors who are directly involved in
adoption-related research and practice provide insight from
personal and professional experience. Theory and real-life
examples come together in the "Treatment Issues" and in the
"Training and Education" sections of each chapter.
Reviews the major theoretical, historical, and research
issues of adoption: The book begins by addressing the
historical and theoretical issues surrounding adoption,
thus providing the reader with a comprehensive review of
the adoption landscape from past to present and setting the
stage for topics addressed in the remainder of the book.
Reflects upon many issues affecting adoption triad members:
The contributing authors address issues pertaining to
transracial adoption; special issues in adoption such as
foster care, single parents, and special needs; training
and education issues; assessment and treatment issues; and
much more.
This extensive resource is designed for researchers,
practitioners, students and families interested in learning
more about and working with adoption triad members. It will
be particularly relevant in counselor education programs,
departments of social work and policy, and marriage and
family counseling programs which emphasize developing
clinical skills with a variety of clients.
