RE: Facilitators and Barriers to Parental Visitation

["Mapp, Susan C" <mapps@xxxxxxxxx>]

I published an article on facilitating positive visits a few years back. It did not look at parental emotions per se, but may be useful to you:
 

Mapp, S. (2002). A framework for family visiting for children in long-term foster care. Families in Society, 83(2), 175-182.

Subject: Facilitators and Barriers to Parental Visitation



Dear All,

 

I am a PhD candidate in the School of Psychology at the University of South Australia. My PhD is in the area of child protection and is entitled 'Facilitators and Barriers to Parental Visitation' (involving children placed in care as a result of statutory child protection intervention). Specifically, I want to find out if psychological factors such as shame, guilt, grief and loss play a role in the visitation patterns of these parents.

 

I'm identifying relevant literature in this area and would appreciate it if anyone could forward details of:

 

*       Any studies that have looked at what facilitates or inhibits

  visitation patterns for parents whose children have been placed in care as a result of statutory child protection intervention?

 

*       Any studies that have examined the emotions of these parents?

 

Thank you very much,

 

Mary Salveron
