“…A qualitative study of residential treatment in Canada found that one aim of residential treatment was to develop ''a sense of normality,'' that is shaping a home-like environment with adults who show respect and allow opportunity for development (Anglin, 2002(Anglin, , 2004. In terms of working alliance (Florsheim et al, 2000;Horvath, 2000) both Elias and Carl had established alliances with members of the staff.…”

This article reports on a qualitative study of adolescents living in residential care in Sweden. Six adolescents, three girls and three boys, who were the first to live in a newly opened treatment home, were interviewed about their experiences 2-3 years after they had left the home. Their experiences were in retrospect very different from each other. The results are discussed from the perspectives of individual differences, the special situation in an institution, relationships and gender. It is concluded that in spite of the fact that youth who live in a residential care institution live in the same environment, the individuals perceive it in their own unique ways.

“…(a) children with behavioural and emotional difficulties; and (b) of children in conflict with the law" (p. 14). Anglin (2004) noted that the most common characteristics of children and youth that residential treatment CYCWs are likely to encounter include chaotic behaviour, poor impulse control and physical threats; which make them prone to harming others and causing destruction to property. It is children and youth like these who are likely to end up in secure care facilities.…”

“…Although there will always be competing interests and intentions within an organisation as complex as a group home, and full congruence can best be understood as an ideal state that can never be actually achieved in reality (Anglin, 2004), the results of our study stress the need to pay abundant attention to cooperation among staff. Participants in our study often experienced cooperation as very difficult, especially with staff members from another entity of the organisation.…”

“…Therefore, organisations must determine whether the staff understand the organisational vision, and if they are willing to make the necessary improvements to achieve it (Penland, 1997). Similar ideas can be found in the work of Anglin (2004), who emphasised the importance of a clearly articulated framework for creating and assessing individual residential programmes (Anglin, 2004). As a consequence, when an organisation decides to train its staff in evidence based intervention models, management should make sure not only that the model fits within the vision and beliefs of the organisation, but also that the vision and beliefs become an integral part of the training.…”

“…The last, and maybe most important precondition which emerged from our analysis concerns coaching and support. The effect of support has extensively been discussed in the current literature, both on retention of staff (Gibbs, 2001;Rhoades et al, 2001;Smith, 2005) as well as on empowerment (Anglin, 2004;Baker et al, 2005;Cearley, 2004, Gersten et al, 2001Moses, 2000, Rhule, 2005. Cearley (2004) for example, investigated in a sample of 85 child care workers the effect of several factors, such as supervisors' help-giving behaviour, length of time as a child welfare employee and type of degree.…”

This article presents the findings of a qualitative study in a Flemish centre for children and adolescents with emotional and behavioural disorders. The change with regard to the demand for care of this highly troubled population has created a need for intervention models that address students' socio-emotional needs. When preparing an organization to implement such intervention models, it is critical to obtain a thorough needs assessment or pre-implementation evaluation of staff in the organization. Fifty interviews with different staff members were performed, guided by three research questions: (1) How do staff perceive the children and youth cared for, including the behaviour, needs and demands of these youths?; (2) How do staff try to translate this demand for care into treatment, and what obstacles could possibly stand in the way?; and (3) What are, according to staff, critical issues to take into account when implementing EBP, both on the individual level and on the level of the organization? Using a grounded theory approach, the analysis resulted in a pre-implementation model. In the following article, this model will be discussed and illustrated with quotes of staff themselves. Figure Click here to download high resolution image We examine how staff how staff reflect on youth's behavior and demand for care  We examine how staff translate this into treatment  We examine critical issues with regard to implementation of evidence based practice  Using a grounded approach, the analysis resulted in a pre-implementation model  Core elements are history, cooperation, target group and preconditions Please find enclosed a manuscript entitled: " Implementing evidence-supported methods in residential care and special education: a process-model " which I am re-submitting for exclusive consideration of publication as an article in Children and Youth Services Review.The study described in this manuscript shows interesting results with regard to how staff in care facilities perceive youth cared for, how they translate this into treatment, and what they mention as critical issues to take into account when implementing Evidence Based Practices. As such this paper should be of interest to a broad readership. I would like to thank the reviewers for their helpful and valuable feedback. Based is this feedback, following revisions were made to the original manuscript: -The appendix was deleted; information about interviewee characteristics is described in the text. Further, next to each quote in the 'results' part, extra information is given about the interviewee. E.g. Interview 46; male supervisor (suggestion of reviewer # 1) -As suggested by both the Editor-in-Chief and reviewer # 4, she manuscripts has been edited by a professional translator 'Dutch-English' -Based on the comments of reviewer #1, the title of the manuscript is revised.-Reviewer #1 asked whether the findings different for residential than for school? Or is this model applicable to both? Is that explicitly stated in this manuscript?In the 'concl...
