Factors involved in the success and failure of foster homes: An analysis of case records

"At present, the actual placing of a child in the home is the only real test of whether this home has use for the agency. This seems to social workers to be a risky method. Through analysis of factors involved in success and failure, we may be able to further eliminate some of the element of chance which we now face. There has been comparatively little work done in this area. Through this study it is hoped that caseworkers will become more familiar with some of the factors which seem to operate in success and failures. It is also hoped that by pointing out some of the dynamics behind failure, caseworkers will be aided in the home study process. The tentative conclusions reached in this paper may provide basis for further study"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "May, 1950." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts under Plan II." / Advisor: Margaret B.
