Coping with Disruptive Behavior in Group Care (Paperback)

Group care facilities are increasingly receiving behaviorally disturbed, aggressive, or even violent children who are unable to live in family settings. Based on a study of 144 highly rated group care centers, the authors examine the characteristics of the facilities and the nature of the population in group care settings, as well as the often overlooked importance of the attitudes, skills, and relationships of the staff members.
