Book excerpt: "Foster Care Therapist Handbook: Relational Approaches to the Children and Their Families focuses on the relational therapy approach, which considers the whole relational environment for each child and endeavors to get all parts of it to work together for the child's sake." "Each section in this guide is written by experts in the field. As a result, this volume draws on decades of experience and is expressed in plain terms and loaded with real-life examples. All facets of a therapist's workload are addressed, from infants needing developmental catch-up to teenagers benefiting from "hip-hop therapy" to burnt-out therapists requiring care themselves." "By viewing these therapeutic responsibilities through the lens of relational therapy, all aspects are placed into proportion, so they can be easily identified and worked out. The emphasis is on "What works with my case, right here, right now? What will help me help them?""--BOOK JACKET.
