Child Welfare: A Study of the Perception of Placement of Twenty-Four Puerto Rican Families Who Placed Their Children with Catholic Social Services, Archdiocese of Philadelphia, 1960-1965, as Compared to the Agency's Perception of Placement Need

Maria Josefina Olivieri, Fordham University

Abstract

The confusion a family experiences in the uprooting from one country to another is keenly felt by the children and adolescents and they reflect this confusion in their behavior. As one becomes acquainted with the Puerto Rican people and their life "back home,“ one realizes the staggering list of things they must accept and become accustomed to in adapting to city life.
