While offering a brief, insightful history on how adoption has changed in the last quarter century, this comprehensive guide for adoptive and foster parents also provides an unprecedented kind look at seven critical predictors for an adopted child’s long-term development: age of placement, placement history, medical and special needs, parental care history, demographic variables, and developmental issues. By explaining how these circumstances affect a child’s ability to attach to caregivers, behave appropriately, and formulate an enduring self-identity, the reference develops a useful strategy for meeting the specific needs of the individual child. Also included is commentary on the dramatic rise of open, transracial, older-age, and special-needs adoptions, as well as the impact of the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997.

Blasphemous thoughts you can't get rid of, praying over and over until you get it "just right," worried your repentance or confession isn't sufficient - these are just a few examples of many symptoms of a mental health issue called Scrupulosity. Scrupulosity is a form of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) that is specific to religious issues. In Saints Overcoming Scrupulosity, Dr. Kyle N. Weir, nationally renowned for treating scrupulosity among Latter-day Saints, outlines his three-phase treatment model for therapy. In Phase-One, Dr. Weir outlines how to embrace foundational truths about mental health and the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ to help the sufferer of scrupulosity develop a healthier relationship with God and themselves. In Phase-Two, he outlines how to use Mindful CBT and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) - the gold standard in treatment of OCD - to aid the sufferer of scrupulosity. In Phase Three, he demonstrates how to use integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into treatment to enhance the chances of overcoming scrupulosity. Dr. Weir further provides key information for church leaders, how priesthood leaders and therapists can work hand-in-hand to help suffering members overcome scrupulosity, and speaks directly to those suffering with scrupulosity offering comfort and hope.
