Post-Institutional Adjustment of Dependent and Neglected Children: A Study of Four Young Adults Who, After Three to Seven Years of Institutional Placement During Adolescence, Had Been Discharged From Two to Ten Years
Abstract
A great deal of time, effort, and money is put into the institutional care of dependent and neglected children who are not fortunate enough to have a home of their own in which to develop and grow into adulthood. A long range hope of all of the persons involved in this work might be said to be that of preparing these children in such a way that when they step out into the world and assume the roles of adults, they will be able to construct and lead a happy, wholesome, rewarding and contributive life in the community by being strong enough within themselves, despite the great disadvantages of their childhood, to be able to stand up under the many stresses of normal adult life in today's society.
