About this title

From Library Journal:

Taking its title from the legal principle for determining custody of children, this is the third in a series of books ( Beyond the Best Interests of the Child and Before the Best Interests of the Child ) written by a group of lawyers and psychoanalysts who advocate placement with the ``psychological'' (not necessarily the biological) parent. The trilogy is controversial in that it supports swift, unconditional placement and opposes mandated visitation and split custody. This book demonstrates through vignettes how professionals might overstep the limits of their expertise in court testimony and sets guidelines for making the best choice for the child. There is no bibliography, but the notes are copious. Corrine Muldoon McKinney, Social Sciences Dept., Community Coll. of Philadelphia
