Personal And Family Achievement: Essentially, what we are talking about are the bourgeois, middle-class values that began to take firm root with the breakup of feudal society—values such as personal and family achievement, financial prudence, hard work, and the drive to reexamine and, if desirable, alter anything that now exists.
However, it is not always physical or social conditions as such that blight family life; the way in which the family perceives its conditions is also to be considered. It is practically impossible to establish a cause-and-effect relationship between the socioeconomic conditions in a child's home and his school achievement or emotional attitudes (42, p. 152, 1957).
In the treatment of emotionally disturbed children the whole family is involved. Ideally they should move forward together toward a better adjustment. The case of the Smith family illustrates this family-centered approach :
The father wanted his seven-year-old boy to compare favorably with other children—to be a credit to him. He was much more concerned about the child's achievement than about the child as a person. Despite evidence to the contrary, the father believed that the child was of normal intelligence and that his abilities had not been developed. It was clear that the father had a strong need to have a child of whom he could be proud. He could not accept the fact that his child was below average.
