Helping parents of looked after children

This month's issue of Children in Scotland has an article on  a unique group-based intervention in West Lothian, working with the parents of looked after children, many of whom had  discrupted childhoods themselves. The intervention groups have had some success in mixing psychotherapeutic approaches with cognitive behavioural techniques; there have been improvements in parent-child interactions and several children have been able to return home, an outcome which was not expected previous to the intervention.
