Placement of emotionally disturbed children in residential treatment: A review of placement criteria.

Abstract

In view of the growing concern over the number of disturbed children in residential treatment centers, identification of the kinds of children best treated in such centers is important. A review of the literature reveals that criteria for placement are inadequate and information on outcomes insufficient for guidance on the placement problem. Implications and recommendations for practice and research are delineated.
