Foster Parents for Emotionally Disturbed Children: A Study of Adequacy and Its Relationship to Attitudes as Revealed by a Sentence Completion Questionnaire Given at the Astor Home for Children, Rhinebeck, New York, 1963
Abstract
Gordon gives three premises basic to criteria for foster home selection and gives first place to the question of what the motives of those who offer their homes to the foster children are; followed by agency expectations of these parents, and finally considerations specific to a particular child. We see, however, in glickman's rather extensive discussion of foster parent motivation, that both stated and unconscious motivations are involved and that there usually are a medley of motives, some of which have greater or lesser significance to the people involved.
