Runaway behavior is a common problem in residential treatment settings for youth. This paper looked at Orten and Soll's runaway typology and Homer's conceptualization of runaways as "running from" or "running to" something and expanded the context to include interactions with family and professionals. A case study and a survey of nine adolescent runaways from a residential setting were used to explore several hypotheses. A discussion of the results and practical applications illustrated ways to empower therapists and other professionals to deal with runaways more effectively.
离家出走行为是青少年寄宿治疗机构中常见的问题。本文探讨了奥滕和索尔的离家出走类型学，以及荷马将离家出走者概念化为 “逃避” 或 “奔向” 某事的观点，并拓展了背景，将与家庭和专业人员的互动纳入其中。通过一个案例研究以及对九名来自寄宿机构的青少年离家出走者的调查，来探究若干假设。对结果和实际应用的讨论阐明了增强治疗师和其他专业人员更有效应对离家出走者能力的方法。
