“…Shah (1972), Schor (1982), Moffat et al (1985), and McIntyre and Keesler (1986) found psychological problems in 35% to 49% of foster children, whereas Eisenberg (1962), Shah (1974b), Kavaler and Swire (1983), and Frank (1980) documented that 30% to 80% of children examined for psychological problems were moderately to severely impaired.…”

This is a study of the referral completion status of a cohort of children entering foster care, and the ability of selected factors to explain the completion of those referrals. It was found that although the children had multiple health problems their needs continued to go unmet. Two variables that accounted for 9% of the variance in referral completion were identified. The implications of these findings are discussed and issues for additional investigations are suggested.At the end of 1990 there were an estimated 407,000 children in foster care in the United States (Tatara, 1991). Nationally, approximately 75°Io of children placed in foster care are there primarily because of abuse, neglect, or abandonment (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1988).Because of circumstances precipitating placement into foster care (e.g., maltreatment) and social characteristics such as poverty, children coming into care are at high risk for medical and psychosocial problems (

“…Any ongoing health care they may have had is interrupted. Therefore, although removal from the home and placement in foster care is intended to be a therapeutic intervention, it also may contribute to a child's poor health (Eisenberg, 1962;Fine, 1989;Schor, 1988).…”

“…Beck (1971) observed that more than 300,000 children are in foster care in this country at any one time and that, of these, 100,000 have no hope of ever returning to ',heir own families. Eisenberg (1962) reported on a number of years' experience in assessing children in foster care referred for psychiatric evaluation. He found that the neglected child in foster care had many more psychological problems than the aver age child placed for less ominous reasons.…”

“…I n contrast, a great deal of research and theory has been published concerning the influence of family variables oq measures of children's adjustment other than the BPCL. In general, the literature suggests the following conclusions: (a) Children who live with both of their natural parents have fewer problems than those living with only one natural parent or relatives (Gregory, 1965;Tuckman & Regan, 1966) and than those placed with adoptive families (Schechter, Carlson, Simmons, & Work, 1964;Witmer, Hersog, Weinstein, & Sullivan, 1963) or with foster families (Eisenberg, 1962). (b) Ordinal position and number of other children in the family expose youngsters to different experiences.…”

The purpose of this study was tc examine the influence of family structure and school variables on behavior disorders of children. The sample consisted of 1,162 white elementary school children. General information was obtained from school records, and ratings on behavior disorders were obtained from teachers. Data were analyzed usin multiple regression analyses of variance. Results indicated that grade in scfool, sex, social class, ordinal position in the family, and teacher were important variables in the determination of behavior disordew. Whether or not the children were living with both of their natural parents, number of children in the family, if the children were in special education classes, and whether the children were older than usual for their grade in school were less important or were unim ortant. The results, especially those that were not expected, were discussel
