| Publisher Description: This book offers an analysis of the limitations of child attachment theory as the basis for decision-making in child welfare practice, examining controversies related to increasing diagnoses of 'attachment disorder' and the use of attachment specific therapies for children in care. It calls for a new pedagogy of relational welfare that is more considerate of migrant families, refugees, adoptive and surrogate children and families in poverty. |
