One hundred and seventeen (117) girls and forty-six (46) boys, aged 9 to 17 years and newly admitted to an emergency shelter, were evaluated using self-esteem and locus of control instruments. These youth were primarily admitted due to child abuse or severe family problems. There were no differences on the instruments by sex, type of referral, family characteristics, or type of abuse. Overall results indicated poor functioning among the entire group. The authors discuss the need for early intervention for youth who are experiencing simultaneously both the trauma of abuse and out-of-home placement.
