`Immaturity' a Basic Cause
of Family Conflict in OP

By the Oak-Woodser
Some three-quarters of the
case load of the Jewish Family
and Children's Service outpost
office in Oak Park was referred
to the agency because of prob-
lems with children in school or
at home.
These are the findings of
Hilda Lucas, a JFCS staff work-
er who presented a comprehen-
sive report on the agency's sub-
urban office at last month's
meeting of the National Confer-
ence of Jewish Communal Serv-
ice in Atlantic City.
"Most of the other cases,"
Mrs. Lucas reported, "were re-
ferred for marriage counseling."
She adds that "most of the chil-
dren's problems were sympto-
matic of family problems and
were therefore handled through
treatment of the parents rather
than direct treatment of the
child."
Immaturity, according to
Mrs. Lucas, is the "common
denominator" for most of the
problems. The immature wife,
she says, "tends to romanti-
cize the image of the ideal
husband and tries to fit her
husband into the image."
In Oak Park, she has found
that the "ideal" is a man "who
earns enough so that his wife
can have domestic help and pa-
tronize the beauty shop regu-
larly . . . never forgets birth-
days and anniversaries . . . and
comes home early to spend his
evenings and weekends with the
family, completely relieving the
wife of the care of the children
while he is at home."
Men who were immature hus-
bands, Mrs. Lucas pointed out,
had domineering m o t h e r s,
whom they now ignored. "They
also ignored their families,
avoiding responsibilities as hus-
bands and fathers by refusing
to discuss any problems with
their wives.
A number of families also
showed religious conflicts,
caused mainly by parents with
"little or no religious train-
ing" with children who insist-
ed upon a religious education.
The children became "critical
of the lack of observance in the
home and the parents were
caught between their own ig-
norance of what to do and their
uncertainty as to whether to do
anything. When one parent was
more observant than the other
it frequently caused conflict
between them around the kind
and amount of religious educa-
tion the children should have.
This seems particularly true if
the mother was the more ob-
servant," Mrs. Lucas says.

The fact that finances also
play an important part in the
family problems of middle class
Oak Park residents is borne out
by a statistic showing that the
average family income is $8,500
yearly.
Half of the Oak Park clients
of the JFCS had incomes in the
$5,000 to $6,000 brackets, Mrs.
Lucas' report indicates.
In cases studied, "the down
payment on a house or money
for carpeting or drapes for a
new home was frequently sup-
plied by parents of the young
couple, usually without too
much expectation of being re-
imbursed.
"
However, social status
and conformity demanded not
only a home in Oak Park, but
also carpeting and drapes, even
if there was little or no furni-
ture. The acquisition of furni-
ture was apparently postponable
for an indefinite period of time
without loss of status. The elab-
orate Bar Mitzvah parties, how-
ever, were routine, even when
a loan had to be taken to fi-
nance them," Mrs. Lucas re-
ports.
The outpost agency works
in close contact with the
school system, which has
three visiting teachers profes-
sionally t r a in e d as social
workers.
The teachers spot withdrawn,
non - partilipating children, as
well as the more usual referrals
of aggressive, disciplinary prob-
lems, Mrs. Lucas states.
The agency, working out of
the 10 Mile branch of the Jew-
ish Community Center, handles
about half of the Oak Park cli-
ents, the rest being served at
the main office of JFCS. All
cases handled in Oak Park are
in the area of counseling.
