“…Several physician-run residential centers for children with behavioral and neurological illnesses opened in the 1920s and 1930s (Slaff, 1989). In these decades, orphanages and reformatories became physician-run homes, child guidance clinics added residential units, and adult hospitals opened children's units (American Psychiatric Association, 1957;Reid & Hagan, 1952). Residential centers treated problems like those found in child guidance clinics such as school difficulties, hyperactivity, and oppositional behavior, but children with these problems were treated alongside those with neurological diseases, and organic diagnostic tools and medications were given for both.…”

“…Residential centers treated problems like those found in child guidance clinics such as school difficulties, hyperactivity, and oppositional behavior, but children with these problems were treated alongside those with neurological diseases, and organic diagnostic tools and medications were given for both. Residential treatment centers for children incorporated medical technologies including extensive physical exams, blood tests, pneumoencephalograms (Lurie, 1948), electroencephalograms, and hormone and shock treatments (Reid & Hagan, 1952). Some physicians for children pointedly accused child guidance clinics of neglecting physical causes of misconduct (Lurie, 1948).…”

This article uses an historical case study to describe the influence of social and contextual factors on the adoption of somatic approaches to children's misbehavior. The child guidance movement and the emergence of medicalized residential treatment facilities for children influenced the theoretical orientations of physicians treating children's behavior disorders in the United States in the 1930s. Charles Bradley and his colleagues at the Bradley Home in Rhode Island defined behavior disorders in social terms but investigated and treated misbehavior with somatic tools. The use of amphetamines and the electroencephalogram reorganized concepts of maladjustment along neurological lines, even as the research relied on the Home's social priorities. Electroencephalographic investigations especially shaped an organic concept of misbehavior. Ultimately, the somatic orientation obscured the central role of local context in Bradley Home physicians' research.

“…In regard to the use of other professional groups in residential treatment centers, a survey of the institutions, as reported by Reid and Hagan (422), indicates that both the social worker and the psychologist are used in a variety of capacities in the various centers. Mueller ( 372) contributes a discussion, "Psychiatric Social Work with Psychotic Children," in which it seems that primarily because of a lack of other personnel, many functions usually handled by other workers in most centers were taken over by social workers.…”

“…K SIDENTIAL treatment centers are rapidly becoming one of the most important developments in the treatment of emotionally disturbed children. There is, of course, still a serious shortage of these inpatient facilities (2); in fact, correctional and adult institutions and group placements, which are obviously unable to give necessary services, have children in their care. However, both public and private resources are now being used to construct new residential centers in many areas, notably in New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York, Illinois, Ohio, and Kentucky.…”
