| Abstract: | This study examines experiences of homeless youth who were formerly part of the child welfare system. Using concepts from
self psychology, 12 young adults between the ages of 18 and 26 participated in a semi-structured qualitative interview to
gather information regarding their experiences prior to, during, and since having exited substitute care and completed a standardized
measure of current functioning. Underlying subjects’ experiences is a pervasive sense of repeated disappointment from relationships
and efforts to find idealizable others. A conceptual model for understanding these experiences is proposed. |
