A section on clinical interventions is technical in approach and incorporates developmental stages. The book closes with discussion of legal and social implications.I have spent days searching libraries and data bases for solid information on adoption and life stages. This book is a direct hit for all members of the adoption triad as well as those in the helping professions. )

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF ADOPTION

by David M. Brodzinsky, Marshall D. Schechter (Editor), David M. Brodxinsky Synopsis: In this volume David Brodzinsky and Marshall Schechter have brought together a group of leading researchers from various disciplines to explore the complex interdisciplinary subject of adoption. While recent work has shown that adopted children are more vulnerable to psychological and school-related problems compared to their nonadopted peers, and that the rate of referral of adopted children to mental-health facilities is far above the general population, our understanding of the basis for these problems remains unclear. This book explores new insights into the problems of adopted kids.
