Negotiating sibling separation: A study of a method of group work with siblings in the adoption process and organisational responses
This practice-based doctorate examines therapeutic group work with siblings facing transitions and possible separation during permanency planning. The researcher analysed material arising from group work with children and examined her role in organisational conversations, developing a proposed sibling-centred social-work model.
Limitations: The practitioner researched her own intervention through a psychoanalytic framework. The abstract does not state participant numbers, regional recruitment or comparative outcomes. Children’s therapeutic material does not establish effectiveness or represent all sibling groups. The author studied her own therapeutic social-work practice and its organisational setting. Readers may consider the practitioner–researcher relationship.
