Kahkonen, Paivi
Child Welfare, v76 n3 p429-45 May-Jun 1997
Analyzed visibility of mother, father/partner, and child(ren) during child welfare placement process in Finland. Found little case-handling information concerning quality of the parent-child relationship. Fathers/partners and children were less visible than mothers, mothers were neglected by social workers after placement, and marital relationships broke down. (Author/SD)
