Abstract: It is a great honor to have been invited to give this lecture, which carries the name of one of the most outstanding thinkers and teachers in European social work. She is not only unique in stature, but, with that curious combination of a British personality, a European erudition, and a truly world-wide interest and preoccupation, she also personifies one of the best features of the Western world: the effort to reach out to the non-Western world. She will not be displeased, I hope, that I use this occasion, which carries her name, to discuss some of the problems with which this effort seems to be connected.

TL;DR: The influence of culture on the shaping of personality is discussed in this paper, where the intermediary of the family plays a major role in shaping personality and the family is the chief socialising agent, while the larger cultural group determines to a great extent the social legacy that is passed on in the process.
Abstract: and develops an identity. While the family is the chief socialising agent, the larger cultural group of which it is a member determines to a great extent the social legacy that is passed on in the process. Those aspects of personality that are not inherited but learned are transmitted through culturally patterned practices of child rearing. Culture, through the intermediary of the family, thus plays a major role in the shaping of personality.

TL;DR: The profession of social work in India is more than thirty years old as discussed by the authors, and the profession does not seem to have come of age, and professional social workers have not shown themselves to be vitally concerned with the serious issues of our times and our society.
Abstract: Shri S. S. lyer is Senior Fellow at the Ghandian Institute of Studies, Varanasi. His article is reprinted, with minor alterations, from the Social Work Forum (India) Vol. V, No. 4, October 1967, by kind permission of the Editorial Committee. H~ profession of social work in India is T more than thirty years old. Yet I am afraid the profession does not seem to have come of age. Mature thinking, broad perspectives, sobriety born out of the felt responsibilities of work in a problem-ridden society, a sense of identification with progressive thought, of belonging to the community and the culture of which it is a part, and a sense of mission and creative innovation in the realms of thought and action all these are the hall-marks of a mature profession whose clients are human beings individuals and collectivities. We may scan the social work horizon to discern the evidence of these, but we end up with the vision of a disappointing and depressing picture. Professional social workers have not shown themselves » be vitally concerned with the serious issues of our times and our society. They are in a state of peace and contentment; they have

Abstract: * Mrs. Lindholm is Teacher in Social Administration. Gradunte School of Social Work & Public Administration, Stockholm. This article was stimulated by the appearance of THE SOCIAL PROGRAMMES OF SWEDEN: A SEARCH FOR SECURITY IN A FREE SOCIETY by Albert H. Rosenthal, Minneapolis, Minnesota: The University of Minnesota Press, 1967. Pp. 193, $6.00. S Sweden one of the Welfare States, ~ and what result have its policy and weltare given to the country in its development ? Many social workers and administrators ask this question and make great efforts to arrive at correct answer, which is far from easy. Sweden itself produces very few really good analyses of the results of its social policy, partly because not very much in fact is followed up with research (research in the field of social welfare is limited, new, and eagerly debated at the moment in Sweden). Little is done to compare Sweden’s results with those of other countries or to translate any findings into English.
