An Experimental Rehabilitation Program: A Study of Five Closed Cases From the Children's Home Service Unit of Catholic Guardian Society, New York, With Emphasis of Family Readjustment During the Under-Care and After-Care Period, 1952-1955
Abstract
In our society the family is considered the basic social unit and children have a fair chance for a good start in life in a family with parents, who are reasonably mature, healthy and understanding of their children’s needs. Today, from all sides the family is threatened. There are many contributing factors which cause family breakdown, namely divorce, separation, alcoholism, immaturity, infidelity, insecurity, lack of common interests, poverty and racial discrimination. All of these plus numerous other factors play an important part in family disintegration. Current social principles state that the family is the basic unit of the home, the natural place for training and rearing of children. The child, therefore, must not be removed from the home except for grave reasons and only after serious thought.
