Life Story Work: A Practical Guide to Helping Children Understand Their Past

Abstract

Reviews the book, Life Story Work: A Practical Guide to Helping Children Understand Their Past by Tony Ryan and Rodger Walker (2007). Life story work is premised on a belief that children separated from their birth families are often denied the opportunity to make sense of past events in their lives and this can have an impact on their development. This revised practical guide provides an up-to-date, authoritative handbook for those working with children separated from birth families and requiring substitute care.
