As a sequel to earlier studies on the harmful effects of institutionalization on personality development during the first six months of life, Goldfarb seeks in the present study 'a program to counteract the effects of the privation process'. He found little encouragement from attempts to adjust such children in foster homes during adolescence and is of the opinion that traditional methods of therapy are inadequate. He calls for 'bold experimentation' in this field, but the nature of such experimentation is not indicated.
