1968s, Halfway House Movement
THE HALFWAY HOUSE MOVEMENT, A SEARCH FOR SANITY was written by Harold L. Rausch, with Charlotte Rausch, and published in 1968 by Appleton Century Crofts, New York, as part of its Century Psychology Series.

The 247-page hardbound book is about halfway houses – not a panacea for those too psychologically troubled to live in ordinary society, but structures that can mitigate their suffering.

Rausch includes chapters dealing with the development and initiation of halfway houses; their structure, operations; and future. He covers the ecological and physical features of the halfway house; legal and financial structure; administrative structures; tasks; rules for residents; work; therapy, social environment; time of stay; and where residents go when they leave the halfway house. It’s a well-explained and well thought-out examination of the concept.

Condition of this book is Very Good, although it is ex lib with the usual library markings. There is some very minor edge/corner/spine end wear, yet inside pages show no apparent defects. It’s a good one – and a book that’s becoming difficult to find. (3650)

Children: Categories, Labels & Consequences
Edited by Nicholas Hobbs, this First Edition hardbound was published in 1975 by Jossey-Bass, San Francisco. The Futures of Children: Categories, Labels and Their Consequences is a Report on the Project on Classification of Exceptional Children.

The project called attention to a serious national problem -- the labeling of children as delinquent, retarded, hyperkinetic, mentally ill, emotionally disturbed and other classifications.

Its objectives were to increase public understanding of the problems associated with the classification and labeling of children who are handicapped, disadvantaged or delinquent; to provide a rationale for public policy; and to improve professional practices of those responsible for the well-being of exceptional children.

This book provides an overview of the study, as well as discussion of the social functions of categories and labels, diagnostic categories and procedures, a proposed model for classifying children, possible negative effects of treatment programs, classification and legal status, integration of services for exceptional children, recommendations and priorities, roles of the parent and the professional, and participants in the project.

In its 339 pages are a comprehensive plan for linking services with the needs of individual children and suggestions that the public schools are the natural centering point for integrating all services and providing alternatives to institutionalization.

The book is the culmination of years of work and experience and provides guidance for those who want to guarantee the health and happiness of exceptional children.

Condition of this still-timely book is Very Good, although it is ex lib and has the usual library markings. The covers show no defects we can find and are protected by the dust jacket and its protective cover. There is some underlining on the dust jacket's back end flap, but this appears to be pencil and easily erasable.

Overall, it's a fascinating look at how the labels we place on our children can actually harm them … and it provides answers we all should consider!! (1310/rB)
