Groundbreaking Interventions: Working with Traumatized Children, Teens and Families in Foster Care and Adoption
A book of 16 plus interventions designed to teach new and imaginative ways for working with traumatized children in foster care and adoption and their families. Groundbreaking Interventions provides a wide variety of play-based methodologies that have been successful in working with children over the age of five in foster care and adoption.
The Therapeutic Models who influence this book are Object Relations Theory, Attachment-Focused Family Therapy, and Psychodynamic. A creative parent/therapist could be able to utilize any of the methods regardless of their modality.
"To meet the needs of children we need to be patient, be present, and be willing to provide opportunities to play. When we stay innocent and let go of our egos, we ultimately will heal our own "inner child" and continue on the lifelong journey of becoming whole." —JeanetteYofFe, M.F.T.
"Jeanette brings a wonderful blend of intelligence, insight, compassion, training, and personal as well as professional experience to her work. She is an advocat-ADAM PERTMAN, Former Executive Director of Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute and author of Adoption Nation.
"Jeanette was one professional amongst one hundred in a series of classes I taught several years ago. She stood out from all the rest in attendance because of her j personal, deep insights into growing up touched by foster care and adoption. She has used that knowledge and her skills of creativity and humor to create innovative techniques therapists and parents, the ultimate therapists may use with the children whose lives they touch. Her ideas are relevant, clinically sound and very useful."
-SHARON KAPLAN ROSZIA, M.S., Adoptive Parent and co-author of The Open Adoption Experience and Seven Core Issues in Adoption and Permanency
"Jeanette Yoffe has cleverly assembled a collection of creative interventions for therapists, social workers, and parent^* alike to help understand the experiences of and build resiliency in the foster/adopted child. Tlie interventions come alive as she demonstrates how to implement them on the DVD and use the power of non-verbal communication in working with these youth. Through our work in supporting families, our case managers have utilized interventions such as Adopt a Pet and the Anger Bag with positive feedback and success from the youth and their parents. Parents are empowered with tools that create containment for their children, increasing attachment and regulation. Armed with these interventions, clinicians, social workers, paraprofessionals, or parents have a deeper toolbox when working with foster and/or adopted youth and families."
