Does Family Preservation Serve a Child's Best Interests?
by Howard Altstein and Ruth G. McRoy
Published 2 August 2000
The central issue posed in this book is whether the interests of abused and neglected children are best served by family preservation or adoption. The two authors take up opposing sides of the argument, each offering a view on whether truly dysfunctional families should always remain together.
