Verzwaarde opvoeding en ontwikkeling verlichten
Het aantal kinderen en jongeren in Nederland dat, al dan niet samen met hun ouders, een beroep doet op een vorm van jeugdhulp, is groot. Het gaat om tien tot twintig procent van de minderjarigen. Een zowel wetenschappelijk als maatschappelijk cruciale kwestie is of deze jeugdhulp ook werkt: Slaagt de ingezette hulp erin (zwaar)belaste opvoedingssituaties te verlichten en de positieve ontwikkeling van kwetsbare kinderen te bevorderen? En waarom: Wat speelt zich af in de ‘black box’ van de hulpverlening dat een verklaring biedt voor meer of mindere werkzaamheid?
Deze vragen vormen het hart van het onderzoeksprogramma dat binnen de Afdeling Orthopedagogiek van de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen onder leiding van de auteur werd en wordt uitgevoerd door de researchgroep Jeugdzorg. Bij zijn afscheid als hoogleraar Orthopedagogiek kijkt Erik Knorth terug op wat er vanuit zijn team in twaalf jaar tijd aan nieuwe inzichten kon worden toegevoegd aan de kennis over de zorg voor jeugd. In deze uitgave doet hij daarvan verslag.
Erik J. Knorth is emeritus hoogleraar orthopedagogiek aan de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. Hij heeft vele nationale en internationale publicaties op zijn naam. Hij is hoofdredacteur van het International Journal of Child and Family Welfare.

Supporting children when providing services to families experiencing multiple problems: Perspectives and evidence.
Recently, there has been growing interest amongst researchers, practitioners and policy-makers in approaches to understanding and ways of helping parents, children and the communities in which they live to respond to families experiencing multiple problems (FEMPs). There is a strong need for information - both descriptive in terms of the services actually offered directly to children as well as their ability to benefit from the services provided to the whole family, and also evaluative, with a focus on outcomes. Motivated by the need for practice-oriented knowledge this special issue was prepared.
The contributions have been divided into two parts; the first part focusing on perspectives on helping these families with special attention to the position and the interests of children; the second part covering empirical research on intervention programmes for FEMPs that support them in coping with daily struggles and challenges, and helping them to prevent unnecessary out-of-home placement of a child.
The (guest) editors: Jana Knot-Dickscheit, June Thoburn, Erik J. Knorth.

Inside the black box: Experiences and perspectives of young people and professionals in residential youth care
The metaphor of the black box has often been used in recent years to refer to characteristics of residential care that - although of pivotal importance - are not sufficiently transparent or known. Considering its importance for positive outcomes and the lack of research on this topic within the context of residential care, the current special issue focuses on the components that facilitate change in behaviour and well-being of youth in residential care through an explicit orientation towards the perspectives and experiences of young people and professionals. This form of study can be called voices research . The included studies present insights on the aspects of the residential youth care process that are important for the development and well-being of the youth in care and, therefore, the outcomes of care.
Topics that will be addressed include the youth-adult relationship in residential care; the adolescents perceptions of participation in secure care; the experience of pain in secure care; clients and professionals perspectives on the quality of care; the threats to the therapeutic milieu aspects of residential care; and the discovered benefits of workers in-service training according to positive parenting practice models.
