Five foster carers who completed FC at a not-for-profit child and family agency in New Zealand were interviewed 13–15 months post-training about their experiences and perceptions of FC and its subsequent effectiveness. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) informed both data collection and analysis. Five superordinate themes were identified: (1) FC is perceived to be an effective training programme that provides sustained benefits; (2) foster carer training is crucially important; (3) the challenges of fostering continue, irrespective of training; (4) caregiver confidence gained from training wanes over time in the face of persistent challenges; (5) foster carers require ongoing therapeutic interventions and support because of their children's persistent behavioural and relational difficulties. The findings suggest that, while FC provides effective and relevant training, carers simultaneously require ongoing clinical services.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <h3>Practitioner points</h3>\u0000 <p>\u0000 \u0000 </p><ul>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>Children in out-of-home care who have persistent relational and mental health difficulties require ongoing specialised therapeutic support</li>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>Foster carer group training (such as Fostering Changes) may help to stabilise children's placements and mental health recovery but does not replace the need for personalised, systemic interventions with caregivers</li>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>Foster carer group therapeutic training is preferably integrated within ongoing, systemic, multi-component interventions, rather than offered as discrete, stand-alone interventions</li>\u0000 </ul>\u0000 \u0000 </div>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51575,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"45 2","pages":"138-153"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-6427.12416","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48439457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional face-to-face supervisory relationships have transitioned to telesupervision, which refers to supervisors using the internet as a training medium for their supervisees. Supervisors and supervisees alike are necessarily adapting to telesupervision relationships in an evolving world. As emergency protocols begin to give way to more routine procedures, it is important for supervisors to engage in meaningful conversations around the benefits, the challenges, and the future of telesupervision.

Events from the marital break-ups of three generations are explored in relation to family therapeutic practice using an insider perspective. The results indicate that shame has been prominent for all of us. A common thread through our stories is how shame can be seen in the ways we each experienced the distribution of power through the exercise of family therapy, in which practice appears to be strongly shaped by social discourses.

After describing the theoretical background, the intervention steps are illustrated. Next, results of a systematic literature search on the effectiveness and other clinical benefits of the RA are presented. Finally, we provide suggestions for future research. Our search identified two published articles and one dissertation. Findings indicate that the RA might be useful in stopping child abuse and in improving cooperation between families and professionals. Parents experienced more control over their situation, and guardians perceived the method to be transparent. The RA is a well-described method that respectfully deals with families in which a lack of safety is observed.
