Condition: N ew Editorial Reviews Review Proper attachment is the most fundamental issue in a successful adoption, but what exactl y does the term mean? Attaching in Adoption answers that question thoroughly, and it provides solutions to a variety of specific a ttachment problems. Along with technical explanations of challen ges such as self-esteem, childhood grief, and limit-testing, the book includes a tremendous number of personal vignettes illustrat ing attachment-related situations. Parents who are convinced that only their child has ever behaved a certain way are sure to take comfort in these stories; not only do they include kids from all backgrounds and age groups, but each has an ultimately happy end ing. The emotional health of the whole family is also paramount a ccording to the book--with plenty of rest and alone time, caregiv ers are more likely to be emotionally available when they are mos t needed. Because Attaching in Adoption focuses on special need s, families who are coming together through foster programs, at l ater ages, or across cultural lines will find it especially helpf ul. Both psychologically detailed and straightforwardly helpful, it can be of equal benefit to counselors and parents alike. --Jil l Lightner From Publishers Weekly Gray, a clinical social worke r specializing in attachment, grief and trauma, has penned a comp rehensive guidebook for adoptive parents, taking an in-depth look at how children and families adjust. The author notes that many of today's adoptions involve older children who may have been abu sed or neglected, or who may have spent years in institutions or various foster situations; due to their past experiences these ch ildren may have difficulty attaching to their adoptive parents. E xplaining that attachment forms the template for future adult rel ationships, Gray stresses how important it is for adoptive parent s to be patient in forging this new bond. She advises creating a high structure/ high nurture environment for the child, and instr ucts parents to find out about their child's background. The book covers many issues, including cross-cultural and interracial ado ption, religious concerns and other complications for attaching, such as ADHD and learning disabilities. Gray also includes a deta iled exploration of developmental delays common in kids who have been adopted later in life. While the book is densely written, it will nevertheless be invaluable for adoptive parents. Gray compa ssionately helps readers form realistic expectations, while offer ing a myriad of suggestions for families and children striving to form lasting, loving relationships.

Part of the new 'Eminent Lives' series, this short biography captures the remarkable talent and spirit of the world's foremost contemporary choreographer and his legendary creative force.Writing with wit, warmth and insight, Robert Gottlieb has created a loving portrait of a man he knew and admired, whose life story was almost as dramatic as some of the seminal performances he created for stage and screen. Founder of the School of American Ballet and the New York City Ballet, Balanchine came to America from Russia in the early 1930s and married five times. His forays into films and musicals, as well as his reinterpretations of ballet classics, revolutionised the look of modern dance to such an extent that he remains a paramount influence in the dance world.Building on a biographical tradition that can be traced back to Aubrey's 'Brief Lives', Dr Johnson's 'Lives of the Poets' and Lytton Strachey's 'Eminent Victorians', this exciting and groundbreaking new series pairs great biographers, historians and novelists with iconic subjects, the writing bristling with original and distinctive points of view. 'To preserve a becoming brevity which excludes everything that is redundant and nothing that is significant,' wrote Strachey. 'That, surely, is the first duty of the biographer.' 216 pages.
