Although social casework began in the West as a child of the social reform movement, the two approaches have become widely separated during the intervening years. The developing nations are currently enacting mass development programs and the value of the Westernized casework method as taught in schools of social work and as an operational service delivery system must be evaluated in terms of national priorities. Literature on the subject is reviewed and some suggestions are made regarding the establishment of a holistic approach to social work in these countries.

Casework in Developing Nations

Nigeria is plagued by a social poverty that continues to escalate dramatically, in spite of the rapid economic growth associated with the "petrol naira." Efforts to check this deterioration and ensure development are hindered by the lack of culturally rooted structural and conceptual supports in the social development sector. These support components have been, and still are absent and until they are established, economic growth and ideological choices will be irrelevant to any rational effort to halt the escalation of social poverty and enhance the quality of life enjoyed by Nigerians.
