The Healing Power of the Family offers a non-technical approach to understanding and treating disturbed foster and adopted children. Written in Dr. Delaney's straightforward and sometimes humorous style, this book puts "front-line" strategies in the hands of the reader.

The Healing Power of the Family is a tribute to foster and adoptive parents and to the nurturing influence they have on the disturbed children who have joined their families.

This book is also available on audio cassette!
