Abstract
This article applies the cultural metaphor to a juvenile treatment center for girls. Staff and residents are looked upon as interacting members within a cultural system with a language, values, and a social structure of its own. The possible gains from using an anthropological perspective in the context of staff development of child care professionals are discussed.
