The concerns of adoptive families may differ from those families with only biological children. Even adopted children who seem comfortable with their adoptive status face emotional challenges and identity issues that go beyond those of the biological child. In this workshop, these matters will be approached from a psychoanalytic perspective, along with the challenges to the adoptive parent(s). The Family Romance, tribulations and sorrows of the adopted child, adoptive parents and birth parents will be addressed. Clinical material from the treatment of an adoptive mother with an adoptive child will be presented. Participants are encouraged to bring their own vignettes for discussion.
