Identifying Perspectives on Life Story Work with Looked-after and Adopted Children
The reviewed repository abstract describes a systematic review of life story work with adopted and looked-after children. Qualitative studies described perceived benefits, while the limited quantitative evidence showed little evidence of benefit. Life storybooks were the most common approach described.
Limitations: The repository abstract reviewed here does not describe the empirical thesis component sufficiently for a results summary. Perceived benefits and quantitative outcomes differ, and underlying evidence includes professionals and carers rather than exclusively children. Related Hooley publications may overlap.
