Life Work with Children Who are Fostered or Adopted really
challenges us to think about who is holding the history for the
child, and how we can pull these pieces together into a coherent
story to be visited at intervals throughout the child's life. With
clear understanding about why life work needs to be an ongoing
process, this book has lots of practical information about a range
of ways we can find, hold and share the story with the child.
