Ecological Engagement
This book presents the method developed by Dr. Silvia Helena Koller and her students and collaborators to apply Urie Bronfenbrenner’s Bioecological Theory of Human Development to empirical studies with children and adolescents. Although Bronfenbrenner's theory, in different stages of development, has been widely cited by several researchers, surprisingly little has been written about the theory itself, its evolution or about the methods that should be used to test it.

Acolhimento de crianças e adolescentes
O Laboratório de Ecologia do Desenvolvimento, vinculado à Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA), desenvolve pesquisas na área da Psicologia do Desenvolvimento, entre elas no contexto do acolhimento infantojuvenil no Brasil, que ainda é uma realidade muito presente na vida de inúmeras crianças e adolescentes em situação de risco e vulnerabilidade social e pessoal. Nesse sentido, por meio do Núcleo de Estudo e Pesquisa em Acolhimento Institucional e Adoção (NEPAIA), várias iniciativas de estudos têm sido realizadas, com o intuito de contribuir com as discussões e aprimoramento do atendimento e das políticas públicas. Esta obra, portanto, é resultado da reunião de pesquisas nacionais e ações inovadoras, desenvolvidas em serviços de acolhimento de crianças e adolescentes brasileiros. Trata-se de uma construção coletiva, na qual profissionais e especialistas na área nos convidam a refletir sobre temas ainda pouco explorados na literatura, como acolhimento conjunto, família acolhedora, crianças e adolescentes ameaçados de morte, fenômeno da retratação de crianças e adolescentes vítimas de violência sexual, entre outros. Boa leitura!
