Evidence based interventions to improve fostering relationships.

      Аннотация: Peer’s Review and Endorsement: This book is refreshing, innovative, and useful for social work students, practitioners and academics. The systematic literature review approach has resulted in the reader being able to gain a deep understanding of the topics contained in the book. The section that considers fathers as being a potentially missed resource is interesting and thought provoking. Another interesting section is where the book discusses effective evidence based interventions and approaches, which could be used more widely in practice and the potential this could have to encourage increased birth family reunification and/or on-going positive relations, contributing to child/parent well being and easing pressure on the care system in the process. An up to date book, which in my view will prove to be a useful asset. Dr Michelle Evans, Senior Lecturer, School of Health and Social Care, London South Bank University.
