Abstract: | Summary In order to develop a typology of indicators for long-term treatmentin foster care, a cluster analysis has been carried out on theitems of a standardized questionnaire which is used by fostercare centres in the province of Zuid-Holland. Two types of indicationfor placement have emerged from the present study. In combinationwith the foster child's age, these two types discriminate effectivelybetween unsuccessful, prematurely terminated placements aftereighteen months and continued placements. It is claimed thatthe employment of this procedure can effect a reduction in thenumber of unsuccessful, prematurely terminated placements. |
