<font size=3><b>Call for Abstracts <br><br>
<u>RESIDENTIAL CARE AND TREATMENT <br>
</u>A Special Issue of <i>Child Welfare <br>
CWLA’s Journal of Policy, Practice, and Program <br>
Co-edited by Lloyd Bullard, Larry W. Owens, and Louise Richmond <br><br>
</i></b>Growing out of the orphanage movement of the 19th Century,
residential care services have evolved and are now delivered in a wide
array of settings including community-based apartments, community-based
group homes, campus-style facilities, self- <br>
contained group care settings,and secure facilities.Today, residential
care agencies are challenged by the transformation movement to provide
better care and outcomes for children, youth,and their families.
<br><br>
Recognizing the importance of disseminating quality research, policy, and
practice methods, CWLA is devoting a special issue of its journal,
<i>Child Welfare, </i>to residential care and treatment in March/April
2010. <br><br>
Articles that are primarily reviews of literature are not appropriate for
this special issue. Research-based articles are particularly welcome. Ten
to twelve papers of approximately 10-13 typed pages (double-spaced) will
be published. <br><br>
<b>Prospective authors should write and submit an abstract that describes
their article by March 2, 2009. </b>This abstract should be 750 words,
typed and doubled spaced, and e-mailed as a Microsoft Word document to
Emily Shenk, managing editor, at <b>eshenk@cwla.org</b>. The subject line
should read “Submission to Special Issue Residential Care. <br><br>
The abstract should clearly identify the topic or theme of the article,
the background and need for the article, the methodology used to address
the topic, and a brief statement about the application of the knowledge
gained from this article. Abstracts will be reviewed and potential
articles for this volume will be selected by May 4, 2009.Those authors
who are invited to submit full articles should have these articles
completed and returned to CWLA by July 6,2009. After a review by a peer
review panel, the final edited papers are due August 10,2009. An
invitation to submit a paper is not a guarantee of publication. <br><br>
<b>Of particular interest are articles that address the following topics:
<br>
</b>• Integration/collaboration of community-based and residential care
services <br>
• Promising and innovative practices, policies,and legislation <br>
• Consumer, family, and community involvement <br>
• Family-centered practices/approaches <br>
