Abstract

The problem with which this investigation is concerned is that of determining the consequences of a program planned to develop positive interpersonal relations on the educational achievement, mental health, attitudes and outlook of a group of dependent and neglected children in a children's home. A comparison is made to a group of children of like socioeconomic status in a large Southern Baptist church in the same large Southwestern city, who live in their own homes and attend the same public school system.
