Foundations, Trauma, and the Child’s Voice in Sibling Relationships is the essential foundation for trauma-informed assessments of sibling relationships in care and permanence planning. This book provides professionals with the theoretical, legal and emotional tools to challenge their assumptions and understand the child’s context. With rich case material and deep psychological insight, this volume offers a new lens through which to understand what children say, and don’t say, about their siblings, and why these insights are crucial to ethical decision making. The authors’ other publication A Trauma Model for Assessing Siblings develops from this text to deliver a rigorous, trauma-informed framework for assessing and supporting sibling relationships in a range of care-giving settings. An invaluable guide for therapists, counsellors, social workers, child welfare professionals and indeed anyone involved in making decisions regarding the placement of children.
'One of the key strengths of this book is that it is written over many years by two extremely experienced clinicians able, through their decades of reflective practice and commitment to their own professional growth, to create a thorough and rich offering to all involved in this complex world of caring for traumatised children. They frequently refer to the use of complex case studies and, for me, this attention to direct work, is vital and gives the book validity and gravitas.'
