Abstract
This portfolio comprises of three parts:
Part One: A systematic literature review in which the literature relating to dyadic parental wellbeing during the post-adoptive period is reviewed. Ten studies were identified for inclusion following a systematic search of electronic databases. A narrative synthesis of findings discussed presentations, and protective and risk factors of post-adoptive parental wellbeing. Suggested clinical implications were also reviewed and conclusions were drawn in relation to the wider literature.
Part Two: A qualitative empirical research study using thematic analysis to explore adoptive parents’ experiences of attachment in the context of their child’s underdeveloped sensory systems following early trauma. Nine participants completed semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis was used to analyse the data, from which two overarching themes and six sub-themes were generated. These themes were discussed in the context of previous literature and implications for clinical practice were made.
Part Three: Appendices including all relevant documents relating to the systematic literature review and the empirical research study. A reflective statement on the process of completing the portfolio and an epistemological statement are also included.
