The current emphasis on permanency planning should not derail traditional concern about helping foster children to grow developmentally while in care. This concern coincides with the importance of enabling foster children, who frequently manifest symptoms of childhood depression, to overcome the learned helplessness that is so often a feature of depression. This kind of treatment may be called social care, and is inherent in daily living, as guided by trained foster parents and caretakers.
当前对永久性安置计划的重视不应偏离对寄养儿童在寄养期间实现发展性成长的传统关注。这种关注与帮助经常表现出儿童期抑郁症状的寄养儿童克服抑郁中常见的习得性无助的重要性相契合。这种治疗可称为社会关怀，它在日常生活中是固有的，由训练有素的寄养父母和照顾者引导。
