Beyond the Best Interests of the Child

<i>Beyond the Best Interests of the Child </i>is the first volume in a classic trilogy of works by Joseph Goldstein former Sterling Professor Emeritus of Law at Yale Law School; Albert J. Solnit the former director of the Yale Child Study Center and Anna Freud daughter of Sigmund Freud. <p/>This collection of texts are classic references often cited in child custody cases. Rather than the familiar legal best interests of the child doctrine the authors' work is based on the more realistic standard of finding the least detrimental alternative. This is indispensable reading for social workers family court judges lawyers psychologists and parents.
