“…Finally, practitioners and service providers can utilize books exclusively with children. Books can be an effective way to address sensitive issues (e.g., Goddard, ; Pardeck & Pardeck, ) if practitioners are conducting groups or providing therapy. Given their limited life experience, young children might not be able to articulate their own feelings about ethnicity or adoption.…”

The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the ways in which family formation processes were presented in international children's adoption books. Guided by Pinderhughes' (1996) adoptive family development model, we conducted a content analysis for the representation of two developmental phases (anticipation and accommodation). A total of 24 publicly accessible books (e.g., via libraries, websites, or bookstores) were coded independently by two researchers. The results indicated that adoptive developmental tasks were represented in the books. The books were transparent in the description of positively and negatively valenced events (e.g., adoptive children are withdrawn from new parents). Implications for practice and service provision and research are offered.

“…John Pardeck, a prominent advocate of bibliotherapy, has written extensively to promote the use of literature to help children cope with a range of personal and social issues such as adoption (Pardeck, 1989(Pardeck, , 1994Pardeck & Pardeck, 1997), divorce (Pardeck, 1996), substance abuse (Pardeck, 1991), chronic illness and special developmental needs (Pardeck, 1992(Pardeck, , 1993 and physical or sexual abuse (Pardeck, 1990a(Pardeck, , 1990b.

Self-administered psychosocial treatments for child health problems have the potential to circumvent barriers to traditional models of care. They are convenient and inexpensive to families and, for some types of problems, may be as effective as therapist-based care. In a review of past research on child- and parent-facilitated self-administered treatments, it was found that a stronger evidence base exists in support of some formats (manual- and multimedia-based treatments) than for others (inspirational literature and support groups). The practical, ethical, and legal issues associated with self-administered treatments are discussed as well as avenues for future research. How psychologists and health care systems respond to the opportunities associated with self-administered treatments for children will likely affect the face of the profession and the health of children in the future.
