“…This optimism does, though, need to be tempered. We, in conjunction with fellow researchers (Connor, Miller, Cunningham and Melloni, 2002;Lieberman, 2004), have highlighted some shortcomings in certain areas of practice within TCHs. While the standard of care in TCHs can generally be good, all of those responsible for these organisations need to be committed to monitoring and where necessary improving their practice.…”

“…On the one hand, demand is said to be on the rise: the number of children who require these specialist interventions is reported to be increasing (Armour and Schwab, 2005;McCurdy and McIntyre, 2004;Pavkov, Negash, Lourie and Hug, 2010) and the children referred to these facilities are presenting with more severe symptoms (Hukkanen, Sourander, Bergroth and Piha, 2005;Lieberman, 2004). Set against this, there are pressures on supply: the economic crises currently affecting many developed countries has resulted in drastic cut-backs to many publicly-funded services, of which TCHs must be particularly vulnerable in light of their high costs (Boyd et al 2007;Kott, 2010).…”

Children who have been severely maltreated may be placed in therapeutic children's homes (also known as residential treatment centres) in order that their often acute emotional and behavioural needs can be addressed. There is little data on process within these settings, especially outside the US. This article contains findings from interviews carried out with 16 young adults who had been placed in a therapeutic children's home in England. These former residents were asked for their views concerning the care they had received. The respondents were, in general, positive about their experiences, particularly in terms of their relationships with staff, life story work, leisure activities and the contact they had with staff after leaving the homes. Some of them were also happy with their experiences in relation to therapy, school, friendships and preparations for leaving the placement but others were less contented in these respects. The evidence from this research is that this highly disadvantaged group of children can be provided with a good quality of care within therapeutic children's homes.

“…The involvement of the parents and the relationships between parents and staff are other important factors in the treatment of adolescents (Lieberman, 2004;Whittaker, 2004). Elias and Carl, again, said that their mothers had experienced that the contact with Pine Grove was helpful.…”

Living in Residential Care: Experiences in a Treatment Home for Adolescents in Sweden

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.

“…Outcomes of youth treated in these programs are largely unknown (Friedman, Pinto, Behar, Bush, Chirolla, Epstein … & Young, 2006). Previous research has focused almost entirely on public residential treatment programs (RTPs) Curtis, Alexander, & Longhofer, 2001;Hair, 2005;Leichtman, Leichtman, Barbet, & Nese, 2001;Lieberman, 2004;Whittaker, 2004). In fact, there is virtually no published outcome research on private RTPs.…”
