Legal and social work approaches to sibling separation in foster care
Child Welfare.
1988 Mar-Apr.
Abstract
As an important subsystem in the families of child welfare clients, siblings deserve greater attention. This article identifies gaps in our knowledge about siblings, notes social trends that call for increased responsiveness to their needs, and reviews social work and legal opinions concerning their separation in foster care. The perspectives of the two professions are compared, and implications for child welfare are considered.
