ABSTRACT
Literature on children in foster care and low-income urban children has primarily been the purview of social sciences and the humanities, and specically the eld of social work and public health policy. e inclusion of literature with this population specic to psychological assessment, however, is limited. Most of the discussion about foster care, loss of parental care, child trauma, and abuse is related to training caregivers for children placed in their care, stability of placement, educational support, attachment needs, targeted intervention and case management, delinquency, substance abuse, and resilience issues of transitional age youth.
