Unusual book
Review:
"This is a superb book--carefully organized, theoretically sophisticated, and clinically wise. It offers an in-depth biopsychosocial perspective on the complicated world of complex adoption and new reproductive technologies. Clearly written and widely accessible, it is 'must' reading for practitioners, teachers, and others who work in the field or whose lives are affected by these remarkable new developments." --Gerald Schamess, MSS, Smith College School for Social Work
"A superb contribution. I hear the wonderful voice of Selma Freiberg in the lucid, jargon-free style of these scholarly clinicians. The volume provides in-depth, useful knowledge about adoption and new reproductive technologies in the new millennium. It is thoroughly documented by clinical observations that are connected with a systematic review of the literature. In a practical and highly readable manner, the book describes how clinical care and policy planning can keep pace with the changing structure and function of the family in the United States." --Albert J. Solnit, MD, Sterling Professor Emeritus, Pediatrics and Psychiatry; Senior Research Scientist, Yale Child Study Center
"In a well-integrated and articulate presentation, this book examines the unique family narratives of families formed through nontraditional means. The work will help practitioners guide parents towards a healthy attachment with their child and towards meeting the changing developmental needs of the child and family. I highly recommend this volume not only to clinicians but also to child welfare workers, physicians, lawyers, teachers, and others working with families formed through complex adoption or assisted reproductive technology. It will also be a valuable addition to graduate courses in clinical social work and psychology." --Elaine Herzog, EdD, Clinician Administrator, Child and Adolescent Services, University Behavioral HealthCare, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey
