Friesen, Barbara J.; Giliberti, Mary; Katz-Leavy, Judith; Osher, Trina; Pullmann, Michael D.
Journal of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders, v11 n1 p39-47 Spr 2003
This article uses the issue of custody relinquishment to illustrate ways in which research can be used in the policy change process. In the case studies profiled, research was most effective when combined with family stories. The stories gave the problem life and the research helped find families with stories.
