Shared Parenting: Assessing the Success of a Foster Parent Program Aimed at Family Reunification.

Landy, Sarah; Munro, Sheila

Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, v22 n4 p305-18 Apr 1998

Results indicate that although the treatment model has excellent potential with less at-risk families, it could not meet the treatment needs of the majority of families. (Author/CR)
