Bøker av Joy Rees

This concise book shows a family-friendly way to compile a Life Story Book which promotes a sense of permanency for the child, and encourages attachments. Joy Rees' innovative model works chronologically backwards rather than forwards to reinforce the child's sense of security within adoption, fostering, kinship care and special guardianship.

Joy Rees investigates the best practices for building complete, effective and meaningful life work with children who are fostered and adopted. The book outlines the purpose of life work, explores the theoretical framework underpinning it, and explains how social work professionals, foster carers and adopters can make important contributions.
