First sentence: The editors of this volume and most of its authors, dissatisfied with the conventional professional "wisdom" in the United States that holds that residential group care programs for children and youth are intrinsically flawed and counterproductive, have been engaged for many years in the identification and conceptualization of more effective models for the delivery of residential services.
