9781903699409: Providing a Secure Base in Long-term Foster Care

Synopsis

Starting from the premise that providing a secure base is key to the development of secure attachment in children, this study follows up the group of children first met in Growing Up in Foster Care (BAAF, 2000). This book movingly describes how many of the children were beginning to relinquish some of their more troubled and distressing behaviour and starting to accept the possibility that they were loved and lovable. Extensive use of first-hand accounts from the children and carers gives richness and depth to a book which will inspire all who read it.
