It gives an overview of attachment theory and a step-by-step model of parenting which provides the reader with a tried-and-tested framework for developing resilience and emotional growth.Featuring throughout are the stories of Catherine, Zoe, Marcus and Luke, four fictional children in foster care or adoptive homes, who are used to illustrate the ideas and strategies described, the book offers sound advice and provides exercises for parents and their children, as well as useful tools that supervising social workers can use both in individual support of carers as well as in training exercises. This is an essential guide for adoptive and foster parents, professionals including health and social care practitioners, clinical psychologists, child care professionals, and lecturers and students in this field.

Good Book to assist in understanding Attachments. Did not find it the easy to read but enjoyed the chapters and the scenarios assisted.
Take time to read and it's a great text to support you in dealing with Fostered/Adopted Children

This book is excellent - Kim does a wonderful job of applying an English translation to Dan Hughes's excellent attachment/ trauma model, but also goes further to develop a very user-friendly model of application.
For professionals - a must.
For parents and carers...if it seems a bit complex in places, I'd advise sticking with it, as it unfolds beautifully and is invaluable in offering respectful and valid perspectives on attachment struggles.

Kim Golding's book is an excellent, readable and practical account about living with children who have been removed from their birth families which will be hugely helpful to foster carers, adoptive parents and professionals. I have supported adoptive families professionally for many years and believe that this is currently the most comprehensive single account of how to live with and help these children.
