Whose child is this? Assessment and treatment of children in foster care.
Clinicians who treat children in foster care must continually balance the development and therapeutic needs of the foster child with the expectations of a complex network of caretakers and professionals with whom the child interacts. A model that integrates individual and systemic issues in the assessment and treatment of children in foster care is proposed.
