  • Title: Problem-solving communication in foster families and birthfamilies.
    Author: Vuchinich S, Ozretich RA, Pratt CC, Kneedler B.
    Journal: Child Welfare; 2002; 81(4):571-94. PubMed ID: 12109601.
    Abstract:
    This study assessed child behavior problems and parent-child communication behaviors during problem solving in three groups of families with adolescent children: foster families, birthfamilies with a child at risk for behavior problems, and birthfamilies with a child not at risk. Levels of positive and negative communication behaviors in the foster families were similar to those in the lower-risk families and were significantly related to foster child behavior problems.
