Narrative and Dramatic Approaches to Children’s Life Story with Foster, Adoptive and Kinship Families outlines narrative and dramatic approaches to improve vulnerable family relationships. It provides a model which offers new ways for parents to practise communicating with their children and develop positive relationships.

The book focuses on the Theatre of Attachment model - a highly innovative approach which draws from a strong theoretical base to demonstrate the importance of narrative and dramatic play for sharing the children’s life history in the family home with their adoptive, foster or kinship parents. An emphasis is on having fun ways to work through complex feelings and divided loyalties, so as to secure attachment. This practice model aims to raise children’s self-esteem and communication skills and to combat the profound effects of abuse, neglect on trauma on children’s development.

This book will be of great interest for academics, post-graduate students, universities and Training bodies, service providers and practitioners involved in social work and creative therapies, child psychologists, child psychotherapists and public and private adoption and foster care agencies.

Reviews for Narrative and Dramatic Approaches to Children’s Life Story with Foster, Adoptive and Kinship Families: Using the Theatre of Attachment Model

'This is a significant book. It is significant because it acknowledges that therapeutic work with adopted and looked after children does not always align with psychoanalytic approaches to therapy that are often verbal, require complete privacy for the client, who is seen on their own, in a therapy room in a clinic. Those of us who have worked in this field have argued for a number of years that younger children especially, need their adoptive or foster parents to be fully involved in the therapeutic process. We are also reminded that a child's primary language is first and foremost play based and needs to take place where and with whom they feel safest. Joan Moore balances wonderful, clear, case examples with solid theoretical reasoning that allows her 'The Theatre of Attachment ' approach to come to life. This is an important book for practitioners in the field and others who need to give clear and coherent therapeutic responses to traumatised children in the care system. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.' - Clive Holmwood, Dramatherapist and Associate Professor (from mid Oct 2019), Department of Therapeutic Arts, University of Derby
