Some Factors Contributing to the Unadjustment of Five Boys in Foster Homes
Abstract
Background and Importance of the Study. "What man of you hath a hundred sheep and if he shall lose one of them, doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after that which was lost until he find it?" The lesson in that parable has taught the importance of one soul. It is with that in mind that this study has been pursued. The motivation is the necessity of searching for the one failure in spiteof all the successes.The children who have remained in boarding care for a number of years and still not "reaped" the benefits of the assets the agency has had to offer them, have been the concern of those providing care for children. Their "lot" has proved unsuccessful as seen by their involvements with the courts and their later transfer to an institution for delinquent children. Despite the fact that these children were placed in the care of a children's agency, in order to avoid an un- wholesome environment and resulting conflict, help with these children has been limited. The reason for the occurrence of obvious lack of adjustment is the concern of this study.
