Books by Harry Hendrick

This book offers a provocative account of contemporary policies on child welfare and the ideological thrust behind them and provides an informed historical perspective on the evolution of child welfare during the last century.

This study combines historical research with that of social scientists to produce a concise and reliable account of the evolution of some of the most important developments in adult-child relations during the last one hundred years. It will be essential reading for students of social history, education, sociology and social policy.
