- Abstract
The article focuses on social service programs for children in the U.S. Professional work with many physically, emotionally and socially sick and handicapped children is an inspired approach. The concept that each child is a whole person, not an aggregation of sick and well parts and that his full recovery can be accomplished only if his whole person is attended has been permeating programs and research for a quarter century. It is reflected today in hospitals, where physicians and nurses have the help of social workers, nutritionists and psychiatrists in their work with children and their parents. In foster care programs, social workers have the help of psychiatrists, psychologists and physicians. In schools, teachers have the help of school nurses, doctors and social workers. In clinics, two, three, four and even a half dozen specialists make one child's problems their common concern. In juvenile courts judge, social worker, psychiatrist and psychologist team decide the best treatment for the delinquent child.
