Throughout this book there is an assumption that the “hurt” child is one whose biological parent(s) have abused and/or neglected their child. In far too many cases the child becomes “hurt” because overzealous child protection authorities have removed the child from it’s biological parent(s)or primary care giver since birth. A classic case like this was Logan Marr (see PBS Frontline “Logan Marr” on the Internet) who became psychologically “hurt” because of her removal from her biological mother and who would not settle down and was killed by her foster carer because she would not accept the foster carer as a new parent.
For the past two years I have had to deal with my own child’s real psychological “hurt” from having been unnecessarily removed into foster care and then after two years returned to me as damaged goods. Keck and Kupecky have an arrogant disregard for a child’s biological and social need for its own parent(s). This book is merely a “feel good” spin justification for the far too many and unnecessary adoptions and placement of children in out of home care, something which has damaged thousands of innocent and previously unharmed children.

Rating: 5 / 5
This book was very insightful and truly compassionate and understanding with the parents point of view. If you feel like your child has snowed the professionals into thinking your the one who is in serious need of help, then this book is a must read. I felt like I had really found a friend. Someone to put words to my feelings and to give me new insight in to my child’s psyche.
