This is a handbook of ideas and strategies for working with difficult foster and adoptive children. It is designed to be of use to parents and professionals. It addresses all the “biggies” -sexual behavior, lying, stealing, violence, manipulation, fire setting and more. It presents a framework to aid in understanding the behavior of children and adults’ reactions to this behavior. The result is a method which helps make the impossible not only workable but perhaps even enjoyable! (28 pages)
