Kruzich, Jean M.; Friesen, Barbara J.; Williams-Murphy, Tracy; Longley, M. J.
Social Work, v47 n4 p461-70 Oct 2002
Examines families' perceptions about involvement in residential treatment from the viewpoints of African American and non-African American family members. Focus group interviews found that all family members shared some common positive and negative experiences. However, unique issues remained for African American caregivers. Implications for social services professionals serving African American families are highlighted. (Contains 47 references.) (GCP)
