Parental Bonding, Family Systems, and Environmental Predictors of Adolescent Homelessness.

Schweitzer, Robert D.; And Others

Journal of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders, v2 n1 p39-45 Jan 1994

A multicausal model of adolescent homelessness was tested in 54 homeless adolescents and 58 controls. The homeless adolescents were found to be significantly more deprived emotionally, socially, and culturally than the controls. Subjects reported a lack of parental warmth, care, and support; unstimulating family environments; high levels of family conflict; and little opportunity for individual development of autonomy.
