FOSTERING ATTACHMENTS: LONG-TERM OUTCOMES IN FAMILY GROUP CARE
Brian Cairns' account of the realities of family life with foster children with challenging behaviours. With their family home officially a registered children's home, Brian shows how he and his wife Kate tried to make this "unusual model of state care" work.
This account of the realities of family life with foster children with challenging behaviours is a fascinating complement to the more theoretical account provided by his wife Kate in her best–selling book, Attachment, Trauma and Resilience. Based on the actual experience of putting this model of care into practice, Brian's book describes how it was for the children, based on the "seven dimensions" now used to chart the growth and development of children in care, which include education, identity, family and social relationships, and emotional development.
