Is residential care 'inherently harmful'? This book argues that
this conventional wisdom is wrong and is, itself, harmful to a
significant number of children and youth. The presumptive view is
based largely on overgeneralizations from research with infants and
very young children raised in extremely deprived environments. A
careful analysis of the available research supports the use of
high-quality residential care as a treatment of choice with certain
groups of needy children and youth, not a last resort intervention.
The nature of high-quality care is explored through child
development theory and research and two empirically supported
models of care are described in detail. It will be of interest to
all scholars and students of child development, child welfare,
youth work, social work and education as well as professionals
working within these fields.
