Dependent and Neglected Children: A Study of Factors Relating to the Length of Placement of Sixty Children Discharged From a Normal Childcaring Agency, Little Flower House of Providence, Long Island, New York, 1958
Abstract
The growing concern within the field of child welfare regarding those children who remain in institutional placement for extended periods of time gave impetus to this study. Evidence strongly indicates that the quality of parental care given in a child's own home or a substitute home is of vital importance to the future mental health and development of the individual. For this reason, it is the primary concern of the social worker to direct his efforts, whenever feasible, to make the institutional placement a temporary one.
