Abstract
Behavior problems of 109 children and adolescents in residential care in children's homes in Finland were examined using the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Forty-three per cent of children had total CBCL scores within clinical range. Boys were significantly more disturbed than girls, and a history of sexual abuse and no contact with parents were related to clinical range functioning. Furthermore, special school form and special children's home were associated with more serious behavior problems. A group of most disturbed children had been referred to psychotherapy. The implications of these results for clinical practice are discussed.
