Abstract
Summary Standardized clinical assessments from the point of view of children are rare. A standardized narrative assessment measure, developed to assess children's perceptions of their caregiving environments, the Narrative Story‐Stem Technique (NSST), was used with two fraternal twins, age 8, with histories of severe maltreatment and multiple foster placements. Their responses to the NSST indicate that they perceived their caregiving environments as unstable and unpredictable, though in noticeably different ways. Representations of certain family strengths were also evident. The NSST can provide highly detailed information of great utility for treatment planning and intervention regarding children's perceptions of, and experiences in, their caregiving environments.
