Children and Young People In and After Care

by Antonia Simon, Sonia Jackson, Elaine Chase

Book Description
There are approximately 69,000 children and young people in local authority care in Britain. While much has been written in recent years about poor outcomes for young people who have been looked after by local authorities, very little has been said about those for whom care has been a positive experience.
Based on research from the Thomas Coram Unit, the text's contributors look at the views and experiences of young people and provide a more encouraging outlook of what those in care have the potential to achieve. Factors are identified which help to result in more successful outcomes and policy recommendations are made for enabling young people in and leaving care to triumph when the odds are stacked against them.
By focusing on positive outcomes and experiences this book adds a new dimension to the current literature on local authority care of young people and children. Those working within the fields of social care, health and education and students on social work courses will find this essential reading and a welcome addition.

Institutional Integrity in Health Care (Philosophy and Medicine)

by Ana Smith Iltis

Book Description
Health care delivery has become institutionalized. As a result, health care organizations now have the power to determine who has access to what kind of health care and under what circumstances. They shape as well the ethics of the various health care professions. These developments have provoked controversies about what kind of obligations such health care organizations have to patients, caregivers, and society at large. In order to respond to these controversies, an account of health care organizational ethics has become necessary.
The essays in this volume:
-are drawn from an interdisciplinary group of leading scholars in this growing field;

-address the nature of health care organizational ethics, including such issues as corporate fraud and institutional moral integrity;

-cover the broad range of issues that must be addressed for a coherent discussion of organizational moral responsibility;

-cover the range of theoretical and practical issues like no other volume;

-are of interest to researchers, students and professionals working in the fields of bioethics, health care administration and management, organizational science, and business ethics.

For the Good of the Children: A History of the Boys and Girls Republic (Great Lakes Books)

by Gay Pitman Zieger

Book Review
The Boys and Girls Republic of Farmington Hills, Michigan, came to life as the Boys Republic during the Progressive Era, when the combined stresses of urbanization, immigration, and poverty left an unprecedented number of children on the streets. It was a time marked both by social change and new thinking about the welfare of children, especially the neglected, delinquent, or abused. Here Gay Zieger tells the story of the remarkable humanitarians and reformers in the Detroit area who offered such children shelter, food, and comfort. Their efforts ultimately evolved into one of the most dramatic illustrations of a "junior republic"�an innovation directed not at enforcing discipline from above but rather at cultivating character among children through example and self-government. We meet, for instance, the colorful first superintendent, Homer T. Lane, who believed in the innate goodness of children and established a self-governing system that allowed the boys in his care to exercise some power over their lives. While Lane dealt with issues concerning personal hygiene and honesty�and the book includes humorous accounts of how the boys arrived at "laws" addressing these matters�later issues included aggressive behavior, alienation, and drugs. Telling a story that spans the twentieth century, the author traces the social currents that gave rise to these problems, as well as the changing philosophies and psychological approaches aimed at resolving them. Her book pays tribute to the Republic, a residential treatment center for both boys and girls since 1994, by sharing the stories of individuals determined to help children discover their potential to succeed.
