Originally published in 1971, this title describes a series of
studies dealing with the upbringing of children in residential
institutions. Most work has been carried out in institutions for
children with learning disabilities, although units caring for able
but deprived children and children with physical disabilities have
also been examined. The investigations have been concerned with the
detailed nature of different institutional environments – that
is, the routine patterns of daily life in hospital wards, hostels
and cottages of children’s homes – rather than with the effects
of specific child-rearing practices upon the intellectual,
emotional and social development of the children. The more precise
delineation of ‘the environment’ is an essential step towards
the evaluation of residential services and the interpretation of
their effects upon those who use them, yet this is an area which
had received little systematic attention from social scientists at
the time. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1971. The
language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by
the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.
