Emotional Disturbance

Описание:
Between 1961 and 1967, there was a 50-percent increase in the number of children receiving child welfare services in an average month. At the same time, the composition of children in foster care changed. Enhanced economic supports for families, a result of President Johnson’s “War on Poverty” programs, meant fewer families were breaking up due to poverty alone. As a result, a larger percentage of children entering foster care did so for reasons that caused greater emotional disturbance, such as abuse and neglect, parental instability, and substance abuse.
