With contributions ranging from academic and professional theorists and policy developers to independent social workers, this book explores the development of family-centered services, the processes by which these services are implemented, the problems the field now faces, and prospects for the future. Multi-faceted examinations of the field show how family-centered services and child well-being can be linked on a daily basis to better the lives of both parents and children.

Review
"[T]he collection of readings provides a well-organized, thorough, and in-depth view of the practice, policy, research, and theories applicable in services to families and children... The book is a valuable resource for practitioners, policy makers, and academics. Faculty members who teach in a child welfare specialization, in particular, will want to consider making it required reading." -- Carol Hostetter, "Social Work Today"
