Book excerpt: Researchers, practitioners, journalists and politicians increasingly recognise that foster care throughout the world is in a state of crisis. There are more and more children needing care and, as residential alternatives dry up, more of these children are being assigned to foster families. This book reports the major findings of a two-year longitudinal study of 235 such children who entered the foster care system in Southern Australia between 1998 and 1999. As well as examining the changing policy context of children's services, the book documents the psychosocial outcomes for these children, their feedback on their experiences of care, and the views of their social workers and carers. In the process, the book examines some cherished beliefs about foster care policy and sheds new light on them. The research reveals that while most children do quite well in foster care up to the two-year point, there is a worrying amount of placement instability at a time when the concentration of emotionally troubled children in care is increasing throughout the western world. Although, surprisingly, placement instability does not appear to produce psychosocial impairment for a period of up to eight months in care, it has an extreme effect on children who are moved from placement to placement because no carer will tolerate their behaviour. These children are consigned to a life of distribution and emotional upheaval because of the lack of alternative forms of care. Another unexpected finding of the research is that increasing the rate of parental contact achieves little or nothing in relation to the likelihood of family reunification. As child welfare increasingly enters a world of research-based practice, Children in Foster Care provides some much needed hard evidence of how foster care policy and practice can be improved.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a partial rationale for high rates of placement disruptions and foster parent attrition, an exploratory study was conducted to explore whether professional burnout was applicable to a foster parent population. A text revision of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI - HSS; Maslach, Jackson & Leiter, 1996) and a questionnaire requesting information on demographics and foster care experiences were administered to a purposive sample of 97 licensed foster parents. It was hypothesized that foster parents would manifest similar patterns of burnout to other human services samples studied. A correlational design was employed to examine whether relationships existed between measures of actual and perceived foster parent performance and each of the three MBI subscales: emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and personal accomplishment (PA). Results indicated that the current sample differed significantly from Maslach, et al.'s (1996) normative sample in their average level of reported burnout. In addition, only EE was significantly correlated with how long participants estimated they would be willing to continue to foster. Exploratory analyses found that participants' expectations of how difficult fostering would be, the ages of both the foster parents and the children placed in their homes, and the length of time participants had been providing care may have important implications for positive placement outcomes and foster parent retention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foster placement breakdown, wherein foster parents request the removal of their foster children, is detrimental to foster children and is linked to increased behavioral problems, poor academic growth, and housing instability later in life. This study utilized rational choice theory to explore how child (age, gender, race, health, behavior, history of sexual abuse victimization), foster family (number of caregivers, income), and case (TPR status) characteristics affect foster parents' decision-making processes regarding placement breakdown. A secondary analysis was performed on data from the National Survey on Child and Adolescent Well-being II (NSCAW II), a longitudinal study that followed 5,873 children from 83 counties in 30 states, to determine the extent to which child, foster family, and case characteristics are correlated with placement breakdown and potential placement breakdown in the future. A subsample of 280 cases was used. Logistic regressions indicated that in agreement with the hypothesis, each additional year of child age is correlated with a 19.0% (95% CI [1.050, 1.347]) increase in odds of actual placement breakdown and a 10.3% (95% CI [1.022, 1.190]) increase in odds of potential placement breakdown. It was also found that, in disagreement with the hypothesis, for children who had one biological parent with legal parental rights, the odds of potential placement breakdown (i.e., the unwillingness of foster caregivers to continue caring for children long-term) were 0.253 times (95% CI [0.114, 0.559]) that of children who had no biological parents with legal parental rights. No other significant relationships were found, indicating that rational choice theory applied to these data cannot fully explain why placement breakdown occurs.

Book excerpt: Foster care, which can include both long- and short-term placements, is the most common way in which local authorities look after other people's children. Examining the problems and the positive experiences of those providing care, Foster Carers is essential reading for social work professionals, academics and foster carers themselves. Through questionnaire responses from over a thousand foster carers across seven different local authorities, the authors highlight the importance of identifying and fulfilling appropriate kinds of care; the need to recruit and retain carers; and, finally, examin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conversations About Group Concept Mapping: Applications, Examples, and Enhancements takes a concise, practice-based approach to group concept mapping. After defining the method, demonstrating how to design a project, and providing guidelines to analyze the results, this book then dives into real research exemplars. Conversations with the researchers are based on in depth interviews that connected method, practice and results. The conversations are from a wide variety of research settings, that include mapping the needs of at-risk African American youth, creating dialogue within a local business community, considering learning needs in the 21st century, and identifying the best ways to support teens receiving Supplemental Social Security Income. The authors reflect on the commonalities between the cases and draw out insights into the overall group concept mapping method from each case.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis started by focusing on Dutch foster children’s well-being, emotional and behavioral functioning and placement stability. Subsequently, we attempted to identify how foster families who are considered to be at a high risk of placement breakdown could be given effective support. The findings from our studies demonstrate that a considerable proportion of foster children are functioning well, but that approximately half of the foster children suffer from problems at a clinical or borderline level, the level associated with placement breakdown. The transactional or bio-ecological perspective on foster child adjustment and foster family functioning, which acknowledges the importance of foster families’ different ecologies, was presented as a useful approach for systematically screening for risks and protective factors and subsequently organizing evidence based interventions to support foster families. Using a randomized controlled trial (n = 86), we examined the effectiveness of Parent Management Training Oregon (PMTO) for foster children (aged 4-12) with severe externalizing behavior problems in long-term foster arrangement. At the first sight, PMTO seems a promising direction for reducing foster care stress. However, the hypothesized added value of PMTO, above and beyond CAU, to improve parenting practices and child functioning could not be confirmed in this study. It is recognized that in these highly burdened foster families, many stressors have to be addressed effectively in order to reduce the risk of placement breakdown. This strategy is in need of thorough investigation, along with a number of related themes for future research outlined in this thesis.
