Description: Life Story Books for Adopted and Fostered Children : A Family Friendly Approach, Paperback by Rees, Joy; Burnell, Alan (FRW); Goldberg, Jamie (ILT), ISBN 1785921673, ISBN-13 9781785921674, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Rees, a social work consultant, trainer, and social worker who works with children and families in the UK and has experience managing an adoption and permanence team, explains how social workers can prepare life story books for adopted and foster children, to provide answers to questions about their early life experiences and explore past trauma, with the aims of giving details and understanding of their history, building their sense of identity, enabling them to share their past with others, providing a realistic account of early events and dispelling fantasies about the birth family, linking the past to the present to help the child and carers understand how earlier events impact behavior, acknowledging issues of separation and loss, enabling parents and carers to understand and develop empathy for the child, enhancing self-esteem and self-worth, promoting attunement and attachment, and helping children develop a sense of security and permanency. She describes a different approach to creating life story books, one that starts not with the child’s past but with the present, places the past in the middle, and ends with the future. She discusses understanding the inner child and subliminal messages, as well as involving carers and adoptive parents, and provides sample life story books. This edition has been expanded to include foster children and those living in kinship care or with a Special Guardian. Annotation ©2017 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
