| Abstract: | In this study, features of 22 adoptive families were examined in the light of some possible explanations of the reported over-representation of adoptive families among child psychiatry referrals. Themes which emerged included problems with bonding, motivations for adoption and psychiatric illness of parents. Implications for adoption workers are discussed.1 |
