Integrating Family Visitation and Risk Evaluation: A Practical Bonding Model for Decision Makers.

Ansay, Sylvia J.; Perkins, Daniel F.

Family Relations, v50 n3 p220-29 Jul 2001

Child welfare legislation and policy have shifted away from a standard of reasonable efforts toward reunification for children in foster care to a standard in which the best interests of the child have priority. Authors apply a family bonding perspective to address risk assessment for children in foster care and demonstrate potential for interagency collaboration in placement process. (BF)
