Summary: "Broken Homes: A Study of Family Desertion and its Social Treatment" by Joanna C. Colcord is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the issue of family desertion, analyzing its causes and exploring various social strategies for addressing the problem. It serves as both a case study and a guide for social workers dealing with the complexities of family dynamics impacted by desertion. The opening of the work presents a thoughtful introduction to the phenomenon of family desertion, emphasizing the varying motivations behind this act. Colcord starts by challenging the notion that desertion is simply a form of divorce for the less fortunate, suggesting instead that it's often a temporary escape rather than an irreversible decision. She outlines the need for understanding the social and emotional states that lead men to abandon their families, illustrating this with real-life examples and case studies. The text sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the factors contributing to family breakdown, aiming to equip social workers with the knowledge necessary to assist deserted families effectively.
