Maintaining Family Ties examines the behavior of children in foster care and their expressed feelings related to separation from their families. Chapter One presents theories of separation and self-concept relevant to children in care. Chapter Two reviews research knowledge from empirical studies and practice experience.

Chapter Six draws conclusions and offers recommendations.
