It argues that this presumption is based on overgeneralizations derived from research with infants and very young children in extremely deprived environments. A comprehensive analysis of the available research supports the use of high-quality residential care as a preferred treatment option for certain groups of needy children and youth, rather than a last resort intervention. The book delves into the nature of high-quality care by examining child development theory and research, and it presents two empirically supported models of care in detail. This book will be of interest to scholars, students, and professionals in the fields of child development, child welfare, youth work, social work, and education. It provides valuable insights into the benefits and challenges of residential care and offers practical strategies for delivering high-quality care to vulnerable children and youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 420g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 160 x 242 x 18 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032564739\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bruce B.
