Foster Parent Selection: The Feasibility of Using an Objective Technique, a Statistical Study of the Administration of a Questionnaire to Twenty Adequate Foster Mothers and Twenty Inadequate Foster Mothers
Abstract
Background of the Study. The child welfare worker encounters the pain of the oppressed and the anguished in the members of families having children in need. She holds within her ken the fragments of many broken hearts, not only of orphans, but also of dependent children, neglected children and delinquent children. The balm she offers is manifold; emerging from the knowledge and development of the field of child welfare. This field of social work practice denotes the provision of social service to children, whose families, the primarily responsible agents, are unable to meet their basic physical, social or emotional needs. Types of social service rendered are numerous : financial aid, homemaker service, day care, foster family care, group care and adoption. Foster family care is the facet of this social service spectrum, which is the area of focus in this study.
