A tale of four countries: How Bowlby used his trip through Europe to write the WHO report and spread his ideas
Attachment theory, developed by child psychiatrist John
Bowlby, is considered a major theory in developmental
psychology. Attachment theory can be seen as resulting
from Bowlby's personal experiences, his psychoanalytic
education, his subsequent study of ethology, and societal
developments during the 1930s and 1940s. One of those
developments was the outbreak of World War II and its
effects on children's psychological wellbeing. In 1950,
Bowlby was appointed WHO consultant to study the
needs of children who were orphaned or separated from
their families for other reasons and needed care in foster
homes or institutions. The resulting report is generally
considered a landmark publication in psychology, although it
subsequently met with methodological criticism. In this
paper, by reconstructing Bowlby's visit to several
European countries, on the basis of notebook

The resulting report is generally considered a landmark publication in psychology, although it subsequently met with methodological criticism. In this paper, by reconstructing Bowlby's visit to several European countries, on the basis of notebooks and letters, the authors shed light on the background of this report and the way Bowlby used or neglected the findings he gathered
The outcome of non-residential youth care compared to residential youth care: A multilevel meta-analysis
Objective: This multilevel meta-analysis compared the outcomes of Treatment Foster Care Oregon for Adolescents (TFCO-A) and home-based treatment programs (HBT) with residential youth care for children and youth aged 0 to 23 years. Methods: A total of 145 effect sizes for different types of behavioral problems were derived from 24 controlled studies (n = 16,943 participants). A three-level random-effects meta-analysis was conducted. Results: We found a small statistically significant overall effect (d = 0.21), 95% CI [0.090-0.338], which indicated that non-residential youth care was slightly more effective than residential youth care. However, moderator analysis revealed that TFCO-A yielded a larger effect size (d = 0.36) than HBT (d = 0.08). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that youth treated in treatment foster care have better outcomes than youth in residential care, which is not true for children who are treated at home. Therefore, in case of out-of-home placement treatment foster care should be the first option. Given that residential care has no additional value for youth who are treated a
