Failed Child Welfare Policy
Based on several studies of family-based practice, this book critiques the existing child welfare programs, analyzes the role of advocates and the discourses surrounding them, and argues for a new system which would address the weaknesses of the current one. It seeks mainly to explain the failures of family-centered child welfare approaches, and to find a means by which the effort could be salvaged. Hutchinson teaches public administration at Virginia Commonwealth University. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
