- Authors
Perkins, Daniel F.; Ansay, Sylvia J.
- Abstract
The article cites a study about the effectiveness of a supervised visitation program to maintain the relationship between parents and their adjudicated children through supervised visits. The article also does comparative analysis of families participating at a visitation center with non-participating families. The article states that aiding parents in the visitation process presents a greater demand on family service programs. One approach to enhancing the visitation between the parent and child is found in a relatively recent social service' supervised visitation programs. The increase of placements coupled with the increased need for services from separated and divorced parents have been the major impetus for the growth of supervised visitation programs in America and other industrialized countries. The study proposes to provide a foundation for understanding and direction for further resourceful visitation programs. The article also discusses the positive impacts of the visitation program on the families it serves.
