Re: Children receiving treatment

["Sandra Bishop" <bishop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A couple of recent articles in Child and Youth Services Review examined
this issue:

Faver, et al. (1999). Services for child maltreatment: Challenges for
research and practice. Child and Youth Services Review, 21(2), 89-109.

Dore (1999). Emotionally and behaviorally disturbed children in the child
welfare system: Points of preventive intervention. Child and Youth
Services Review 21(1), 7-29.

Also, the National Study of Protective, Preventive, and Reunification
Services Delivered to Children and Their Families (US Dept. of Health and
Human Services, Children's Bureu, US Government Printing Office, 1994)
reports that 27% of abused children received outpatient mental health
services and 4% received inpatient mental health services.
