Synopsis

The inadequacy of the foster care system has long been recognized. One of the biggest obstacles to reforming the system is the relative unavailability of research data from the field, information that would shed light on key empirical trends and pressing issues. This long overdue volume provides a much-needed overview of the current state of foster care. Leading researchers and practitioners summarize and discuss the results of their current research, providing through their data an unparalleled, detailed glimpse of the inner workings of the foster care system in its entirety.The volume is also valuable for its survey and syntheses of important issues and trends affecting foster care. Subjects discussed include welfare reform, reporting systems, family reunification, mental health services, and the needs of minority children. Wide-ranging and detailed in its coverage, this collection is destined to become an essential reference and guide to the foster care system. Patrick A. Curtis is the director of research for the Child Welfare League of America. Grady Dale Jr. is the president of the American Institute for Urban Psychological Studies and an adjunct assistant professor at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy. Joshua C. Kendall is a freelance writer and editor.
