Popis: The enhancement of community-based, ambulant care for children with serious behavioural problems (in German: "Ambulantisierung") implies supporting them as long as possible in their own family environment. One tries to avoid an out-of-home placement. This policy, strongly underlined during the last 20 years, shows merits but also raises questions. The emphasis on ambulant care and treatment was coupled with a decline in availability and appreciation of residential childcare services. Based on a theoretical model of family support and relevant empirical findings in the field we plead in favor of a complementary role for ambulatory and non-ambulatory services; both directed at lending professional support to children and families in need of care.
