A Biologically Based Developmental Perspective

Pages 39-49 | Published online: 22 Sep 2008
 

ABSTRACT

Drawing on his personal experience working with sheltered homeless persons who were mentally ill, the author argues for a focus not on self-sufficiency but on closely supervised care for this vulnerable population.
