Negative Positive
Title: A Book in-line with Developing Trends
Review: Increasingly, we are recognizing that the attachment and social history of the parent very much impacts the parent-child relationship. This is why greater emphasis is being placed on family-based approaches to therapy, rather than seeing the child alone. Particularly in challenging family situations--such as with foster and adopted kids--we now understand that parents must resolve losses from their own past in order to facilitate the child's healing.This is one of the first books to bring this reality to light. While the 'how-to-do-it' section is a bit brief, it lays the foundation for this premise in ways that parents and practitioners can easily understand. After this, read the newer works by Daniel Hughes, Ph.D.I like how the authors balance the clinical (of Dr Siegel) with the practical (of Mary Hartzell). This brings a nice balance that makes the book accessible for most readers.
