The purpose of this study was to investigate day-to-day experiences in children's homes, through an examination mainly of their daily routines and leisure time activities. In order to achieve this goal, these experiences were assumed to be contained in the concept of a therapeutic milieu. Each respondents commitment to the creation of a therapeutic milieu was thus assessed by means of a range of questions which formed a Milieu Therapy Scale, and the consequences of such commitment for factors such as the size of the Home, incidences of bedwetting, frequency of visiting by friends and parents, the tasks performed by respondents, the use of corporal punishment, and the number of absconders, was then investigated. 2016-03-21T19:10:48Z 2016-03-21T19:10:48Z 1981 Master Thesis Masters MSocSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/18052 eng application/pdf Department of Sociology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
