The
New Book
by Dr. Gindis
Rehabilitation
and Remediation of
Internationally Adopted
Children
This book
presents specific methods for the physical rehabilitation,
mental health restoration, and academic remediation of post-institutionalized
international adoptees. The focus of the book is on the neurological,
psychological, and educational consequences of complex childhood
trauma in the context of a fundamental change in the social
situation of development of former orphanage residents. A
discussion of after-adoption traumatic experiences includes
a critique of certain “conventional” approaches
to the treatment of mental health issues and different disabilities
in international adoptees. Using his 30-year background in
research and clinical practice, the author expertly describes
and analyses a range of methodologies in order to provide
an integrated and practical system of “scaffolding”
and “compensation” for the successful rehabilitation
and remediation of children with ongoing traumatic experiences.
This is essential reading for researchers and practicing clinicians
concerned with childhood trauma, remedial education, and issues
of international adoption.

The Dark Side of International Adoption
Bringing up and educating

adoption. Based on clinical experience and written for professionals
and parents alike, this book poses the questions and gives
answers on many unavoidable issues of a traumatized child.
