Abstract

This article discusses recent trends in child/family welfare. A more collaborative relationship between institutional caregivers and the natural families is needed in order to foster mature identity development in the children and youth. Societal change warrants flexibility and openness to an expanded range of care arrangements. Interventions need to focus on socio-economic, health, and ecological inadequacies in contemporary society.
