Abstract
Social service organizations are created continuously with little attention given to the process by which they come into existence. The existing literature on the creation of settings is examined, and the method of study of a particular study is described. The theories which were important to the leader in the creation of the setting are examined. The background information, the events leading to the opening, and the first six months of the setting’s existence are chronicled, detailing the major events, issues, and interactions within the setting, giving attention to major theoretical considerations. Major findings are related to existing theory.
