The document summarizes a study on the family environment and adjustment of institutionalized women in Mysore, Karnataka. It describes the study's methodology, which included interviews and observations of women residents at governmental and non-governmental institutions. The major findings were that most residents came from low socioeconomic backgrounds, lacked emotional relationships and specialized care in the institutions, and women from broken families showed poorer adjustment. Financial problems, domestic violence, and sexual harassment were cited as reasons for institutionalization. The conclusion states that case studies are effective for presenting profiles of study populations and that psychological and physical environmental factors both impact adjustment levels.
