Abstract

If reunification of a biological family is a reasonable goal in a foster care case involving infants and toddlers, relational therapies may be the psychotherapeutic treatments most indicated. Working within the context of the family relationships addresses many of the perils of contemporary foster care for children in the earliest years of life, including lengthy stays and loss of supportive family bonds. A “best practices” research program-Families in Transition (FIT)-is described which uses court-ordered family visitation sessions as an opportunity for relational assessment and interventions.
