Lyn R. Greenberg, Kathleen McNamara, Betsy E. Weisz, Justice Thomas Altobelli, more

Family Court Review > 61 > 3 > 522 - 537

Children and adolescents who are having difficulty coping with stress often present with complaints of physical discomfort. Effective treatment approaches exist for many of these issues. Among high‐conflict parents, however, children's medical issues can become another canvas for conflict, with parents focused more on blaming one another for the child's distress than on options for assisting the child...

Alicia Summers

Juvenile and Family Court Journal > 74 > 1 > 37 - 50

Despite the passage of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) more than four decades ago, little is known about how or how well it is being implemented into practice by the state courts or how implementation may be related to improved outcomes for Indian children and families. This study explores how ICWA implementation in five state court sites is related to case outcomes. One hundred and fifty‐one...

Alicia Summers, Jacqueline Kirshenbaum

Family Court Review > 61 > 1 > 116 - 134

Pre‐hearing conferences are a form of alternative dispute resolution that have been implemented into the child welfare court process. Montana recently piloted a pre‐hearing conference model to occur before the first hearing on the case. The goal of the pilot was to increase discussion and resolution of contested visitation, placement, and service issues and to better engage parents in the process...

Jill E. Spielfogel, Sonya J. Leathers

Child & Family Social Work > 27 > 4 > 646 - 655

Despite policy recommendations that foster parents form positive relationships with the parents of children in their care, this is difficult to achieve in actual practice. This study examined relationships between foster parents and parents in a sample of 13 triads of parents, foster parents and caseworkers of children ages 5–13 living in non‐relative foster homes with a goal of reunification (N =...

Jackie Amos, Bryan Todd, Bryony Gibson, Samuel Carpenter, more

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy > 43 > 2 > 168 - 181

Family reunification is an area of high policy importance for child protection systems. The safe return of children from out‐of‐home care to their biological parents or relatives and long‐term family preservation can potentially mitigate the subsequent detrimental effects of separating children from their families. In this paper we describe one type of family for whom reunification was considered;...

Anne Kluger

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte > 44 > 4 > 391 - 413

The evaluation and transformation process of the GDR research system in the wake of German reunification 1989/90 was immediately accompanied not only by debates within the scientific community, but also by an extensive discussion about the value and future perspectives of East German scholarship and its protagonists in the nationally circulated press.

April Harris‐Britt, Diane Paces‐Wiles, Noa Wax

Family Court Review > 59 > 4 > 673 - 682

Reunification therapy is specialized family therapy to address parent–child relational disruption (i.e. child resistance to or refusal of parent contact), typically during or following a high‐conflict divorce or custody dispute. The literature discussing reunification therapy interventions with families involving racial diversity, SES, religiosity, and other socio‐cultural aspects is limited to non‐existent...

Returning children home from care: What can be learned from local authority data?

Elsbeth Neil, Lisanne Gitsels, June Thoburn

Child & Family Social Work > 25 > 3 > 548 - 556

International Human Rights and child rights conventions as well as U.K. wide legislation and guidance require that children in care should be returned home to one or both parents wherever possible. Reunification with parents is the most common route out of care, but rates of re‐entry are often higher than for other exit routes. This study used 8 years of administrative data (on 2,208 care entrants),...

Risks and Realities of Working with Alienated Children

Richard A. Warshak

Family Court Review > 58 > 2 > 432 - 455

Involvement in custody cases that include accusations of parental alienation—whether as an evaluator, expert witness, lawyer, judge, therapist, provider of a specialized intervention, or researcher—incurs both professional and personal risks. Some risks relate to false negative or false positive identifications of parental alienation that can lead to regulatory agency complaints and public condemnation...

Previous research evidence, mainly from American studies, suggests numerous factors that contribute to successful reunification outcomes (Biehal, 2007). Less is known about the current evidence base for reunification practice in the United...

Professional foster families in the reunification process—Polish experience

Jan P. Basiaga, Anna Róg, Beata Zięba‐Kołodziej

Child & Family Social Work > 23 > 4 > 649 - 656

We researched the extent to which professional foster families fulfil their tasks to reintegrate families, what attitudes professional foster families assume towards the idea of reintegration, and to what extent and how professional foster families support a child separated from his or her family and parents in the process of reintegration. The research examined case studies of a sample of 58 professional...

Poverty and Family Reunification for Mothers with Substance Use Disorders in Child Welfare

Margaret H. Lloyd

Child Abuse Review > 27 > 4 > 301 - 316

Although prior research has established that maternal substance use disorders (SUDs) are associated with poor foster care outcomes, few earlier studies have sought to differentiate between families with maternal SUDs who reunify and those who do not reunify. This study applied the intersectional social determinants of a health framework to examine the effect of socioeconomic status (SES) risks on...

Institutional Economic Integration between South and North Korea and the Economic Impacts of Integration

Moonsung Kang, Soonchan Park

Asian Economic Journal > 32 > 3 > 257 - 276

This paper proves theoretically that bilateral trade between South and North Korea, between whom many political barriers to trade exist, is Pareto‐inefficient, and that a Pareto‐efficient situation can be achieved through the attainment of institutional economic integration, enabled by mutual agreement between South and North Korea. Based on our theoretical analysis, we propose a comprehensive economic...

Parenting intervention effects on reunification: A randomized trial of PMTO in foster care

Becci A. Akin, Thomas P. McDonald

Child Abuse & Neglect > 2018 > 83 > C > 94-105

Evidence-supported parenting interventions (ESPIs) have expanded into child welfare because a growing research base has demonstrated positive results among children with serious emotional and behavioral problems. Despite a clear federal policy emphasis on reunification, few randomized trials have tested ESPIs with biological families of children in foster care; even fewer studies have investigated...
