The Adolescent Foster Girl and Her Problem Around Identity: A Case Study of Four Adolescent Girls Who Have Had Long Time Care in Foster Homes in the Westchester District of the New York Foundling Hospital
Abstract
The study will be centered around the girl and her relations to foster parents, workers, friends, etc. all those people who can exercise influence on a child who wants to know about himself. In analyzing the cases various questions will be posed. At what age, under what circumstances, from whom did they first learn about themselves? Whom did the child approach for knowledge and why that particular person? Since some children simply are not able to ask the question "who am I", the writer hopes to learn why this should be so and in what ways the desire to know was exhibited by these girls.
