The current study was an exploration of successful treatment foster families from the perspective of professionals. Concept mapping, a mixed methods research design which involves participants generating ideas and stating the relationship between those ideas, was utilized in this study. Data collection occurred in two phases, idea generation and statement structuring. Participants included professionals employed with a private, not-for-profit agency who provide support to treatment foster families as part of their regular job duties. There was a total of 33 participants in the idea generation phase of data collection and 21 participants in the statement structuring phase of data collection The Concept Systems CS Global MAX ™ proprietary software was used to collect and analyze the data. Findings of this study suggest that professionals view treatment foster family success as a combination of the treatment foster parents’ parenting skills, qualities the treatment foster family possesses, supports the foster youth needs from the treatment foster family, supports the treatment foster family needs from others, and the match between the foster youth and treatment foster family. Additional research regarding treatment foster family success is needed and future research should include the perspectives of treatment foster families and treatment foster youth. 2017-02-08 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1473246208184445 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1473246208184445 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
