Recent empirical work has shown that adopted children are more vulnerable to a host of psychological and school-related problems compared to their non-adopted peers. The rate of referral of adopted children to mental-health facilities is far above what would be expected given their representation in the general population. However, our understanding of the basis of these problems remains unclear.
David Brodzinsky has conducted one of the largest studies of adopted children. Along with Marshall Schechter, a child psychiatrist, he has brought together a group of leading researchers from various disciplines to explore the complex, interdisciplinary subject of adoption.
Theoretical, empirical, clinical, and social policy issues offer new insights into the problems facing parents of adopted children and especially the children themselves. The book is a comprehensive study and will be of interest to child psychiatrists, developmental and clinical psychologists, social workers, and social service providers.
