Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Memorial Hospital, Brighton, Massachusetts A Social Study of an Institution Offering Rehabilitation Service to Handicapped Children, Covering the Period 1959-1954
Abstract
It has often been said that the twentieth century is the century of the child. More attention has been paid to the education and physical welfare of children in the last half century than in any other period of history. Before 1900, public interest in child welfare was, in general, intermittent, casual, temporary, and ineffective. During every age, parents had been instinctively interested in their own children, but most of them had been exceedingly indifferent to those of others.To what then can we attribute this upsurge of interest and accomplishment in the field of child care? Largely responsible for the gradual broadening of the child welfare program to its present comprehensive scope, have been the five White House Conferences focused on child problems and needs.
