The start of child welfare research in the US was reviewed focusing on the contributions of several outstanding persons including the disagreement between hereditarian and reformist values and attitudes.

Both the social and eugenic reformers contributed to the start of a strong scientific background in child welfare and the human services that was subsequently discredited and abandoned.
