About This Book

The author seeks a practicable definition of social work by tracing its origins and evolution, distinguishing its charitable element from its scientific methods, and analyzing institutional testimony from national conferences and training schools. The text surveys diverse agencies and functions, considers boundary questions with allied occupations, responds to critics, and clarifies the practical limits and responsibilities of social work practice. An appendix and bibliography support the analytical conclusions.
