TL;DR: In the past, social workers have taken a smaller part in community development programs in Latin America than many have felt that they should as mentioned in this paper, and they have often complained that they are being ignored and their real potential neglected.
Abstract: In the past, social workers have taken a smaller part in community development programs in Latin America than many have felt that they should. Although social work includes community organization as one of its professional techniques, social workers have not been the ones mainly responsible for initiating, shaping or administering community development programs, with a few outstanding exceptions. The members of other professions who have been responsible for such programs have tended to regard social workers as merely one among many resources which can be mobilized for specific tasks; but social workers have often complained that they are being ignored and their real potential neglected. The situation varies somewhat from country to country, but in broad outlines this has been the position during this decade of development.

Abstract: The task given to me at this Congress under the title &dquo;Building the Curriculum: The Foundation of Professional Competence&dquo;, is the consideration of how social work education, through its curricula, can produce graduates equipped to increase their capacity to fulfil these roles and responsibilities; how to build curricula that prepare for the future as well as the present, and how to go about constructing such curricula. This is a formidable task and obviously cannot be accomplished to anyone’s satisfaction within the confines of this paper.

Abstract: other countries. Both contributed richly of their thought, time and interest to the international aims of social work education, believing that a partnership of giving and receiving was essential to the enlightened development of the social work profession.

TL;DR: The Rev. Swithun Bowers, O.M.I., this paper, who was one of the panelists of the recent Seminar on Social Welfare at St. Patrick's College, University of Ottawa, Canada, pointed out that one cannot assess the outcome of all the word and wisdom and wit that have filled these
Abstract: * The Rev. Swithun Bowers, O.M.I., is Director of the School of Social Welfare, St. Patrick’s College, University of Ottawa, Canada. ANY relationship between what follows and the somewhat grandiloquent title given to this session will undoubtedly be the happiest of coincidences. I am sure that the four distinguished educators who are my panel colleagues will agree with me that one cannot, at this time, assess the outcome of all the word and wisdom and wit that have filled these

Abstract: The Commission for Social Development T HIS was the first meeting of the Commission for ’ Social Development since the Reappraisal of the Role of the (Social) Commission was submitted to the Economic and Social Council and was approved by Resolution 1139 (XLI), I August, 11966, thus changing the title and structure of the Social Commission. The purpose of the change was to increase the effectiveness of the Commission in dealing with matters involving broad areas of social policy as distinct from social programmes, with particular emphasis on social development and planning for such development in relation to economic development, especially in the developing countries. This will call for close collaboration between the United Nations, the specialized agencies and the regional economic commissions.

TL;DR: The healers, the shamans, of primitive societies, have most commonly been noted as persons with predispositions to nervous disorders, with symptoms varying in their degree of morbidity.
Abstract: The healers, the shamans, of primitive societies, have most commonly been noted as persons with predispositions to nervous disorders, with symptoms varying in their degree of morbidity. The shamans of our own society, especially those dealing with the psyche and its manifestations, have similarly been noted, in popular lore and in research reports, to have led early lives of some distress to have intense and commonly vicariously-met needs for personal contact, to be late and often turbulent sexual maturers, more hysteric than normal, to have strong but conflictional ties with their families events which when seen in their future patients, lead to the intimation of neurotic personality.
