Abstract	This volume describes actual programs that are based on the idea that family connections are substantial resources for healing and recovery even when the family is a very troubled one. With a focus on severely damaged families, these programs attempt to keep children connected with their own families even when circumstances prevent their living together.

(James Nelson); (2) "Families in Their Own Evaluations" (Steven W. Rathbun, Daniel R. Lord, Faye A.
