A Child’s Journey through Placement

1992 Benjamin Franklin Award-winner (from Publisher’s Marketing Assn): best new Psychology/Self Help book.

This book provides the foundations,the resources, and the tools which will help professionals (therapists, pediatricians,juvenile justice workers, CASA volunteers, and child advocates), parents (birth,foster, adoptive), and others who care, in supporting children for whom the journeythrough out-of-home care becomes part of the road to adulthood. This easy to read book on a complex topic contains the bulk of the material Dr. Fahlberg presented in her attachment-focused trainings for consumers and professionals throughout the world.

A Note to College Instructors about Desk CopiesWhile we are pleased that a few of our books have found a niche as texts in college course work, Perspectives Press is a consumer publisher, not a textbook publisher, and so we do not price our books at textbook pricing levels. Therefore, our process for providing desk copies may differ from those of a publisher whose business is to publish texts.

Our policy and procees is this: We do not provide review copies to college professors. When a book has been chosen as a text, however, on first use, we will provide a single desk copy per title to a college which provides us with the department, the name and the number of the course; the number of enrolled students; and a copy of the bookstore’s purchase order (probably made to a wholesaler, not to us) for a classroom set of at least 20 copies. We expect that after first use, that desk copy will remain in the department for subsequent instructors’ use.
