Abstract: Research into therapeutic approaches for children in residential out-of-home-care (OOHC) is critical given the paucity of effective interventions in the literature. Health and social care settings claim Therapeutic Life Story Work (TLSW) has therapeutic benefits to individuals who have experience repeated trauma. This paper explores the effectiveness of TLSW with children in residential OOHC.
