Thicker Than Blood Bonds of Fantasy and Reality in Adoption

Adoption is a complex, emotionally charged process that profoundly affects all parties involved. This book addresses in depth the impact of adoption on biological parents, adoptive parents, adopted children, and siblings. Highlighting dilemmas specific to each group, the authors stress the role of intense ambivalence as they offer a deeper understanding of the psychological issues involved in adoption. Transracial adoptions, the role of immigration trauma in international adoptions, and intrauterine bonding between the fetus and its mother are additional topics that contribute richly to the discussion of this timely and important aspect of clinical practice.Akhtar, Salman is the author of 'Thicker Than Blood Bonds of Fantasy and Reality in Adoption' with ISBN 9780765702661 and ISBN 0765702665.
