 The BEST for ANY family having a child w/ attachment issues. February 28, 1998

This book MUST be required reading for ALL adoptive families for insuring they have true insight on parenting their child responsivly. Being a mother desperately looking for the "why" my adopted child behaves as he does and "why" four years of traditional treatment hasn't mattered, I now have these answers and far greater insight as to what to do next. Dr. Fahlberg has provided the comprehensive guide for all who care about advocating children with all kinds of behavior and disorder issues. Dr. Fahlberg's "A Child's Journey Through Placement" is the Dr. Spock book for all adoptive parenting - outstanding material, information and very well written.

An easy read with a lot of informaiton. Written at about a collge 200 level so it does not lose you with informaiton you be able to use but it does make you stop and think. Good for anyone that is serious about helping their adoptive child.

I am interested in fostering and have recently applied to do this.
I feel that this book is an essential reading for those who are interested in adoption or fostering. It gives a lot of illustrations of children in care and how they need to have complete understanding of their needs to enable them to function well in life and to become attached to those they are living with as a family.
It is easy reading as well and would make a good text book for courses or for discussion groups interested or working with children also.

This book is a must have for foster parents, adoptive parents, & professionals. Yes, some of it gets very tedious & dry, & the editing is horrendous; but...there is a lot of value here. Not only does the author give explanations, activities, & study based back-up, but she also walks you through her chapters with several case studies. This helps the reader to better apply the knowledge they are absorbing. One reviewer mentioned their disgust for the author's mention of holding therapy. I have to agree with that reviewer, but keep in mind that this book was written in 1996...BEFORE holding therapy had gotten much attention & caused a public outcry. This book is both interesting & informative, & I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in special needs children..
