Problem-solving communication in foster families and birthfamilies.

Full Abstract

This study assessed child behavior problems and parent-child communication behaviors during problem solving in three groups of families with adolescent children:
foster families, birthfamilies with a child at risk for behavior problems, and birthfamilies with a child not at risk. Levels of positive and negative communication behaviors in the foster families were similar to those in the lower-risk families and were significantly related to foster child behavior problems.
