Handbook of Adoption: Implications for Researchers, Practitioners, and Families (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781412927512)

Although most mental health and behavioral health professionals have encountered adoption triad members--birth parents, adoptive parents, and adopted persons--in their clinical practice, the vast majority have had no formal or informal training on adoption issues. The Handbook of Adoption is the first text designed for mental health practitioners to specifically address the many dimensions of adoption-related issues which can and do affect adoption triad members, specifically in the United States.
