Synopsis

What are the effects on adopters of living with a traumatised child? This is the story of a group of adoptive parents who came together for mutual support based on a form of action research known as co-operative enquiry .

It describes their journey from setting up the enquiry through the process of exploring the effects of their children s trauma on themselves, to their development into a cohesive support group and the sense of empowerment this brought to their lives.

Written with courage, honesty and humour, this is a book to inspire and encourage any adoptive parents who are struggling to take control of their situation and seek support for themselves and the traumatised children in their care. It will also provide thought provoking insights for social work practitioners in this field.

This is a book for adoptive parents and foster carers who are looking after traumatised children, and social work practitioners in the adoption, fostering and child care fields.
