A Case Study of Four Boys Ages Nineteen to Twenty-Four to Determine the Factors Affecting Their Community Adjustment Following Discharge From Bonnie Brae Farms for Boys, Millington, New Jersey, in 1950
Abstract
Within the profession of social work at present, there is a recognition that foster home placement and institutional care each have positive contributions to make in child welfare. This has not always been the case, since the methods used in child care have gone through several phases of change: from almshouse care to institutions for dependent children to foster home placement, and now many types of care exist to meet the individual needs of children. These changes paralleled the advances made in the field of human behavior, medicine, psychiatry, psychology and social work, all of which enriched the understanding of the child, his needs and how these can best be met.
