Family-based solutions for children in care are the preferred option in European countries on the grounds of both cost and quality. Yet, too often, foster care placements intended to be long term are terminated unexpectedly early. Few studies have identified factors leading to unexpected breakdown and fewer still have translated such findings into practical guidance for professionals. This article outlines: (a) the ambiguity and contradictions in the use of terminology (e.g., instability, breakdown, disruption) in several international studies; (b) the adoption of a one-sided, file-based, systemic perspective in recent studies of foster care instability, breakdown, and disruption; and (c) empirical data collected from interviews with foster children. Foster care breakdown is shown to be a process that takes place on several levels. In addition to the actual breakdown event, the situation of the child before the placement, the situation during the placement, the emergence and development of the crisis and the consequences of the breakdown for all those involved are all part of the process. It is only in retrospect that the ending of a foster care process is perceived as a breakdown. Assessments of whether it was planned or unplanned, expected or unexpected, and desirable or undesirable are meaningful only from an individual perspective. Such a perspective must be clearly identified: different people experience and remember the same breakdown in different ways, and its significance for their personal biographies may vary.

承认导致紧急医疗事故的过程的复杂性

从成本和质量两方面考虑,基于家庭的照料儿童解决方案在欧洲国家是首选。然而,往往是长期的寄养服务却意外地提前终止。很少有研究能够确定导致意外故障的因素,并且很少有人将这些发现转化为专业人士的实用指南。本文概述:(a)在一些国际研究中,术语使用的模棱两可和矛盾(例如不稳定,崩溃,破坏);(b)在最近的寄养制度不稳定,崩溃和中断的研究中,采用了基于文件的单方面的系统观点;(c)从与寄养儿童的访谈中收集的经验数据。寄养照顾的崩溃被证明是一个在多个层面上发生的过程。除了实际的故障事件之外,安置之前儿童的状况,安置期间的状况,危机的发生和发展以及故障对所有相关人员的影响都是过程的一部分。仅回想起来,寄养过程的结束被认为是崩溃。仅从个人角度出发,评估它是否是计划内的或计划外的,预期的或意外的,理想的或不可取的都是有意义的。必须清楚地确定这样的观点:不同的人以不同的方式经历并记住相同的故障,并且其对他们的个人传记的重要性也可能不同。危机的产生和发展以及崩溃对所有相关人员的后果都是过程的一部分。仅回想起来,寄养过程的结束被认为是崩溃。仅从个人角度出发,评估它是否是计划内的或计划外的,预期的或意外的,理想的或不可取的都是有意义的。必须清楚地确定这样的观点:不同的人以不同的方式经历并记住相同的故障,并且其对他们的个人传记的重要性也可能不同。危机的产生和发展以及崩溃对所有相关人员的后果都是过程的一部分。仅回想起来,寄养过程的结束被认为是崩溃。仅从个人角度出发,评估它是否是计划内的或计划外的,预期的或意外的,理想的或不可取的都是有意义的。必须清楚地确定这样的观点:不同的人以不同的方式经历并记住相同的故障,并且其对他们的个人传记的重要性也可能不同。仅从个人的角度来看,合意和不合意是有意义的。必须清楚地确定这样的观点:不同的人以不同的方式经历并记住相同的故障,并且其对他们的个人传记的重要性也可能不同。仅从个人的角度来看,合意和不合意是有意义的。必须清楚地确定这样的观点:不同的人以不同的方式经历并记住相同的故障,并且其对他们的个人传记的重要性也可能不同。
