Day treatment as an aid to mainstreaming troubled children.

Problem children who are diverted from public school programming into a private psychoeducational day facility in a community mental health center are followed up in a 10-year study to determine the rate of return to regular classes. The evidence points to a successful reintegration into public schools for the great majority of students. A philosophy for mainstreaming which supports the need for proper preparation of children for public school reentry is basic to effective management.

Children's services--past, present, future.

Preventing, healing, and educating in various forms have always been major ingredients of clinical services for troubled children. Traditional services involving healing or prevention have been emphasized. Current times mandate a closer look at the value of an educationally oriented model to provide direction for clinical intervention. Case illustrations of such a model are presented.

Parenting for foster parents.

A parenting course for foster parents was described with a follow-up evaluation utilized to determine its effectiveness. The content of this broad-based course included learning theory, principles and techniques, communication skills, methods of conflict resolution, developmental considerations, and information about community services. Results of the evaluation suggested that most of the participants had found the course helpful and were using the knowledge acquired.

A study in childhood egocentricity.

The SFSC was administered to 79 children and 63 adolescents who were considered to be functioning at a normal level. The ratio of self-focus to environment focus scores was related significantly to age, which confirms a hypothesis based upon Piaget's theory of mental development. Deviations from a relatively equal S/E ratio have been associated previously with psychopathology in adults. This was not found in the present study. It was suggested that an even S/E ratio may be inappropriate for children and youth, whose response styles are still in a state of development.
