Advances in Child and Family Policy and Practice a SpringerBriefs series published in affiliation with the Society for Child and Family Policy and Practice (Division 37 of the American Psychological Association) serves as a forum for discussion of issues related to social policy and services for children, adolescents, and families with a psychosocial perspective. All Briefs deal with policy analyses and implications at various levels, including local, state, national, and international. Briefs may include literature and conceptual review papers; analyses of policy trends; evaluations of programs, policies, and systems; case examples of public and private policy issues; and advocacy needs, successes, and failures to demonstrate applications in which psychological expertise may be applied. Potential topics of interest also include organization of service programs; service delivery through different systems; and implementation, impact, and evaluation. A variety of child, youth, and family-related service programs and topics may be the focus of a Brief, including but not limited to:
Child mental health programs and policy
Mental health screening/service needs
Child welfare
Child abuse and maltreatment
Education, early childhood education and preK, and evaluation
Health (including, integration of mental health within primary care and school settings)
Juvenile justice
Racial/ethnic, socio-economic, or neighborhood/community disparities in services, service delivery, or in child, youth or family experiences
All submissions are peer reviewed by the Editorial Board for substantive contribution to the psychological and policy literature related to issues of child and family practices. Briefs may consist of one longer manuscript on a topic or may be an integrated set of shorter papers. Each Brief should include literature reviews of the topics, the policy and practice implications of the topic, and a one- to two-page summary to be used for public advocacy.

More than half a million US children spend time in foster care each year, and combined federal, state, and local expenditures on foster care services approach $15 billion annually. Yet, foster care remains a widely controversial and poorly regarded intervention to protect children exposed to abuse or neglect. This volume provides an in-depth examination of the history and goals of the foster care system, how and why it fails to adequately meet childrens needs, and what it would take to actualize meaningful improvements in childrens experiences and outcomes. We challenge prevailing criticisms of foster care and illustrate how efforts to increase conformity and accountability in state foster care systems may undermine, rather than promote, child well-being. The final chapter of the volume provides a blueprint for realizing the potential of foster care as a safe and effective intervention for children experiencing abuse and neglect.
Children would be better served by a foster care system that is oriented toward achieving objective, longitudinal measures of child safety and well-being. There is little evidence that the processes valued and prioritized in the Child and Family Services Reviews consistently or uniformly ensure child safety and well-being.
In contrast to prevailing views on the negative effects of foster care on child well-being, the totality of research evidence suggests no differences between children receiving foster care and similar children who do not, or slightly positive effects for select subgroups or for select outcomes. Federal policies, such as the 2018 Family First Prevention and Services Act, heavily emphasize reducing the use of foster care, in part by legitimating preventing foster care as an outcome independent of child safety. These efforts are underlain by a public discourse that harshly criticizes the use and utility of foster care. However, our review of the evidence suggests that the most negative claims about foster care are often based on incomplete or inaccurate understanding of research evidence.
