Resumen

Los datos y las conclusiones del artículo de Fernández, Álvarez y Bravo (2003) son aquí discutidos, ofreciéndose algunas explicaciones e interpretaciones alternativas. Se sugiere que la muestra estudiada tal vez refleje mejor el pasado que el presente de la institucionalización. Se propone limitar al mínimo el papel del acogimiento residencial en el sistema de protección y esforzarse en mejorar seriamente las condiciones institucionales para aquellos chicos y chicas para los que la institución sea la única alternative

Abstract

Data and conclusions of the paper by Fernández, Álvarez and Bravo (2003) are discussed, and some alternative explanations and interpretations are offered. It is suggested that the study sample might be more representative of past rather than present residential care in Spain. It is proposed that the role of institutional alternatives should be kept to a minimum and that, for those for whom this type of arrangement is the only available alternative, their life circumstances while in institutions should be seriously improved
