Foster Parents' Understanding of Children's Problematic Attachment Strategies: The Need for Therapeutic Responsiveness.
Tyrrell, Christine; Dozier, Mary
Adoption Quarterly, v2 n4 p49-64 1999
Interviewed foster and biological mothers regarding understanding of children's insecure attachment strategies and knowledge of foster-care issues. Found that foster mothers reported more attachment-related difficulties with foster children than did biological mothers with their natural children. Foster and biological mothers did not differ in understanding of attachment strategies, knowledge about foster-care issues, or sensitivity. (Author/KB)
