Joy Rees Boeken

Focusing on life work for fostered and adopted children, this book delves into its significance and the theoretical foundations that support it. It provides insights into how social work professionals, foster carers, and adopters can effectively contribute to creating meaningful life work. By investigating best practices, it aims to equip caregivers with the tools necessary to support children's emotional and developmental needs.

This concise book shows a family-friendly way to compile a Life Story Book which promotes a sense of permanency for the child, and encourages attachments. Joy Rees' innovative model works chronologically backwards rather than forwards to reinforce the child's sense of security within adoption, fostering, kinship care and special guardianship.
