First published in 1970, Residential Life with Children gives a detailed account of residential work with children. The author looks at various kinds of residential institutions, the needs of the children, and the ways in which these needs are met. A section is devoted to important questions concerning the institution and its staff, and there is a full examination of residential care as a method of social work. The discussion is set within the framework of relevant theory, and the influences of Social Service and Government organizations are fully considered. This book will be a valuable read for students and researchers of social work and sociology.
Christopher Beedell, at the time of the first publication, was Senior Lecturer in the Department of Social Administration and Social Work, University of Bristol, UK.
