Authority as a Treatment Tool in Juvenile Probation: A Study of Three Active Cases in the Probation Department of the Brooklyn Children's Court, 1959-1960
Abstract
Background of the Study. In September, 1959, the writer was assigned to the Student Unit of Fordham University School of Social Service in the Children's Court Division of the Brooklyn Domestic Relations Court, as a Probation Worker.Several years previous experience in a Children's Court Probation Department in an upstate New York county (Onondaga) provided a good opportunity to observe the value of authority as a treatment tool in such a setting. This could only be done with a caseload small enough for diagnosis and casework treatment of the client with adequate supervision from a trained supervisor.
