Abstract

Research and theory on how abused and neglected children in long-term care experience separation from their families and develop new attachments are reviewed. The thesis that children must mourn former caretakers in order to form new attachments is critically examined, and its validity for children in care is discussed. Implications of a modified model for child-welfare research and practice are discussed.
