While most of the research has focused on institutions for children with learning disabilities, units caring for able but deprived children and children with physical disabilities have also been examined. The investigations have primarily focused on the detailed nature of different institutional environments, such as the routine patterns of daily life in hospital wards, hostels, and cottages of children's homes. Instead of examining the effects of specific child-rearing practices on the intellectual, emotional, and social development of the children, the emphasis has been on understanding the broader context of these environments. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe more precise delineation of \"the environment\" is considered an essential step towards evaluating residential services and interpreting their effects on those who use them. However, this area received relatively little systematic attention from social scientists at the time of the original publication. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book provides valuable insights into the experiences of children in residential institutions and sheds light on the challenges and complexities of their upbringing. It is a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners working in the field of child welfare and social services.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 650g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 216 x 138 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032568591\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roy D.King,Norma V.
