Psychopathology among children placed in family foster care
D Pilowsky
Kennedy Krieger Institute Family Center, Baltimore, MD 21213, USA.
OBJECTIVE: The literature on psychopathology among children in family
foster care published in the last 20 years was reviewed to estimate
prevalence and types of psychopathology in this population. METHODS: A
comprehensive computerized database was searched for the period 1974
through 1994, with emphasis on recent literature. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS:
Available evidence suggests that the prevalence of psychopathology among
children in family foster care is higher than would be expected from
normative data, even when this population is compared with children who
have backgrounds of similar deprivation. As for the types of
psychopathology in this population, the only apparent trend is the
predominance of externalizing disorders, such as disruptive behavior
disorders. A combination of social, psychological, and biological factors
may render children in family foster care highly vulnerable to
psychopathology.
