Adoption: The Bigger Boxes.
Smyer, Michael A.
Adoption Quarterly, v3 n2 p1-3 1999
Identifies two theoretical frameworks for adoption research: stress and coping literature and life-span developmental psychology. Recognizes that placing adoption within these larger study areas encourages differentiated, conditional questions such as when does adoption have which types of impacts for which types of individuals.
