The admission of children suffering behavioral problems to special protection centers

Abstract

In recent years the number of minors, undergoing serious behavioral problems, has significantly increased in our country. The urgent need to provide these children with a -more structured- social, educational and psychotherapeutic environment justified for the first time that the Spanish National Parliament legislate to meet these needs. In particular, the Act 8/2015, of July 22, introduces regulation on special protection centers for children suffering behavioral problems. The present study is dedicated to these.
