Institutions for dependent and neglected children: Therapeutic option of choice or last resort?

Abstract

This paper uses survey responses from 370 dependent children to examine claims made about the purposes of child welfare institutions. The data suggest that institutions are the least supportive form of surrogate care, that group homes share some of their defects, and that, in practice, neither are therapeutics environments.
