The development of an alternative to residential treatment centers is described. Healthy nuclear families are recruited and, in groups of five couples each, encouraged to function as extended families. Training in appropriate therapeutic techniques enables them to treat several disturbed children in their own homes. Evaluation of the program indicates that outcome does not differ significantly from that of residential treatment, but that costs are markedly lower.
本文描述了一种替代住院治疗中心的方案的发展情况。招募健康的核心家庭，每组五对夫妻，鼓励他们像大家庭一样运作。进行适当的治疗技术培训，使他们能够在自己家中治疗几名问题儿童。对该项目的评估表明，其结果与住院治疗没有显著差异，但成本明显更低。
