Enhancing adoptive parenting
£12.95
This research study describes the setting up of the first rigorous test in the UK to look at the efficacy of particular kinds of adoption support.
It aimed to discover whether the addition of one-on-one parenting advice sessions made a difference compared with a comparison group receiving routine support services. The study reports on the adopters’ perception of the preparation they received to manage their children’s issues and challenging behaviour, the content of the specially designed support programmes, the outcomes of the programmes and how these affected the children’s outcomes.
This book is for all social workers, managers and policy makers concerned with adoption support services.

Though rooted in research, the book is also practical, showing the effectiveness of positively addressing the challenging behaviours exhibited by some adopted children. It will be of particular interest to those involved in post-adoption and specialist parenting programmes.
