Sammanbrott i familjehem En undersökning av utredningsmetoder för blivande familjehem

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this essay was to describe and compare two different investigation methods of foster homes and if there is any connection between the investigation method and a breakdown. The two methods we have been examined are the Kälvestens-method and the PRIDE-method. The main questions have been: · How common is breakdowns in foster homes, national and in respective municipality? · How the Kälvestens-method and the PRIDE-method looks in theory and in practice? · How do the social authorities look at the investigation methods? · Which factors increase/reduce the risk for a breakdown in foster homes? · Have the investigation methods of foster homes any output in the breakdown? The methods we have used have been varied: our work is mainly supported by interviews with representatives from the social services, literature, and previous research. We used qualitative method because we wanted to understand how the social workers feel about the different investigation methods. The interviews, literature and previous research have been analysed and we haven’t found anything that prove that the investigation methods have any output in breakdowns.
