About This Book
The study reported in this 1960 book examined the process of foster home placement and the impact of this process on the foster child. It also aimed to show some of the limits and potentialities of research in an actual practicing agency. The study grew out of a Russell Sage Foundation residency held by the author during 1954–1955 at the Chicago Child Care Society.
Eugene A. Weinstein was professor of sociology at Vanderbilt University.
