Synopsis

Foundations, Trauma, and the Child’s Voice in Sibling Relationships is the essential foundation for trauma-informed assessments of sibling relationships in care and permanence planning. This book provides professionals with the theoretical, legal, and emotional tools to challenge their assumptions and understand the child’s context. With rich case material and deep psychological insight, this volume offers a new lens through which to understand what children say, and don’t say, about their siblings, and why these insights are crucial to ethical decision-making. The authors’ other publication A Trauma Model for Assessing Siblings develops from this text to deliver a rigorous, trauma-informed framework for assessing and supporting sibling relationships in a range of care-giving settings. It is an invaluable guide for therapists, counsellors, social workers, child welfare professionals, and indeed anyone involved in making decisions regarding the placement of children.
