title: [The residential structure as a therapeutic instrument].
abstract: The frequency of residential placements in homes and households contrasts with the scarcity of its evaluation with respect to therapeutical effects. In order to facilitate evaluative studies, relevant structural elements and suggestions for a typology are discussed as well as methodological problems. Examples of empirical studies and their results are presented.
