INSTITUTIONS FOR CHILDREN IN BULGARIA This text studies
psychological and social factors that have led many parents to
separate from their children placing voluntarily them in
institutional care in Bulgaria during the communist regime. Like in
all Soviet block countries the child welfare system was built
according to the communist ideology of the state intervening in the
family. This legacy presents a problem in the current efforts of
transforming the child welfare system from institutional to
community one. The study focuses on the relationship between
mothers' experience in childhood as reflected in their attachment
style and mental representations, and their choice of different
type of care for their own children (institutional, weekly and day
care). The participants completed attachment style measures and
wrote descriptions of their parents. Mothers who used institutional
care for their children were the least secure of the three groups,
their mental representations were the most negative, and most of
them were raised in institutions. Mothers who used weekly care
presented mental representations that were the least conceptually
complex. Policy implications were discussed.
