Abstract

When combined with traditional methods of compiling information, quantitative assessment techniques can be gainfully used by child welfare practitioners for case monitoring and program evaluation. The Childhaven Client Profile System (CCP), a computerized behavior-rating and record-keeping system, was developed for therapeutic child care programs to provide an efficient clinical report of the young maltreated child's day-to-day status. The CCP combines succinct ongoing assessment of behavioral and physical problems associated with early neglect and abuse, with an efficient method of documentation as needed for the protection of the child in care. This article reports on the psychometric characteristics of the CCP and discusses its key clinical and administrative merits.
