TL;DR: Feldman and Wodarski as mentioned in this paper presented a study on the effects of various professional orientations on workers' commitments to radical change strategies, including those of adoption on adjustment in later life.
Abstract: * Mr. Wodarski it Adjunct Professor of Social Work Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri and Research Director, Group Integration Project Jewish Community Centres Association, St. Louis, Missouri. * Mr. Feldman is Professor of Social Work and Acting Dean Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri and Principal Investigator, Group Integration Project Jewish Community Centres Association St. Louis, Missouri. Their paper was presented at the Annual Programme of the Council on Social Work Education, February, 1973, San Francisco; California. Preparation of this manuscript was facilitated through funding from U.S.P.H.S. research grant MH18813, awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health, Centre for Studies of Crime and Delinquency. HE last decade has witnessed a marked T increase in research activities in the field of social work. Illustrative research endeavours include the evaluation of casework services (Brown, 1968; Meyer, Borgatta, and Jones, 1965; and ~Reid and Shyne, 1969); that of reductions in case loads and subsequent effects upon worker behaviour (Thomas, 1963); studies to determine the consequences of varying types o-f supervision for para-professionals (Blau and Scott, 1962), the effects of differing organizational delivery systems upon the provision of social work services (Neugeboren, 1970); the effects of various professional orientations on workers’ commitments to radical change strategies (Epstein, 1970), those of adoption on adjustment in later life (Kadushin, 1967 and 1970; and Jaffee and Fanshel, 1970); follow-up studies of psychiatric treatment (Arthur, Ellsworth, and Kroeker, 1968; Stimpert, Sinnett, and Wilkins, 1966), and’ the evaluation of community placement of psychiatric patients (Cunningham, Botwinik, Dolson, and Weickert, 1969). The increased interest in research activities will ultimately make it necessary for schools of social work to strengthen their training in research methods. However, except for certain doctoral programmes, few guidelines have been set forth to date to facilitate the training of those who will execute research functions for social work.

TL;DR: The social services of Hong Kong have not developed so quickly or in such a sophisticated way as the economic life as mentioned in this paper, and this was because the rapid increase in population after the Second World War (caused principally by migrations into the Colony from the Mainland in the 1950s and early 1’960s) meant that the Government had to concentrate its major effort on meeting the basic social needs for housing, water, education and health services.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how workers' goals are derived, how they change, the extent to which they guide workers' activities, and their impact on treatment outcomes, and how these goals affect treatment outcomes.
Abstract: or ought to be a problem-solving process. The probtems may be categorized as intrapsychic, interpersonal, social role, and environmental;~ or personality reconstruction, change of adaptation patterns, and relief from current stress;2 or in other ways; but the process is usually considered to be goaldirected. It is of some importance, therefore, that studies of practice include an examination of workers’ goals : how they are derived, how they change, the extent to which they guide workers’ activities, and their impact on treatment outcomes.

TL;DR: The history of social action is not always courageous, however as discussed by the authors argues that children are sometimes their own sad advocates, and society moves to help ihem onily after some scandal of violence, or loss of iife, exploitation and suffering.
Abstract: ’ certain very basic rights were first established for children, the right to heath and freedom from infantile mortality, the right to protection from cruelty, the right to education, the right to rescue from starvation, homelessness and contamination by prison or workhouse. As we understand more about child’ren’s needs, their basic .rights are seen to extend, and further advocacy and action are required to obtain them the right to good parenthood, the right to be a wanted chilld, to have an education which is liberating and individualised rather than repressive and conditioning. The history of social action is not always courageous, however. Chi~ldren are sometimes their own sad advocates, and society moves to help ihem onily after some scandal of violence, or loss of iife, exploitation and suffering. More often, children put their case through anti-social behaviour which society often cannot understand. Hence the need for advocacy, for others to crusade on their behalf.
TL;DR: Cypher as discussed by the authors argued that children creative play is a pre- cursor to creative work and that play may be and often is in relationship with others, but at the centre is an individual finding out about himself, his powers, his limitations; his ability and inability to control the world around him.
Abstract: * Mr. Cypher is Lecturer in Social Administration at the School of Social Work, University College, Cardiff, Wales. OR children creative play is a preF cursor to creative work. This play may be and often is in relationship with others. But at the centre is an individual finding out about himself, his powers, his limitations; ’his ability and inability to control the world around him.’~’~ Such a view reflects the widespread belief amongst social scientists of the importance of play in contributing to the personality development of the child. Play is a central life interest for the child; it is a means of bringing him into contact with the wider environment. Within the context of the child’s world it is the pro-
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the problem of including all existing countries in one research project, both research-probtem and sa.m,p.le have to be chosen in such a way that both questions and answers will have significance beyond the borders of those countries where the research was actually carried out.

TL;DR: The social work profession faces the challenge of being increasingly responsive to the changes and the new needs that arise in society as discussed by the authors, and the profession should respond to this challenge by being involved in policy formulation and change.

TL;DR: In the course of these experiments, Titmuss transformed the structure of welfare policy in Britain and radically reoriented many branches of the social sciences, such as sociology and professional social work as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: muss by British scholars and brought him, like Byron, to unexpected fame. Later, inducted into a team of writers appointed to compile the first non-military history of the Second World War, Titmuss entered the cabinet office. From then the rise was meteoric. He became a Professor at the London School of economics and the main Adviser to the powerful labour party of Great Britain. His portfolio was Social Policy. It gave Titmuss a unique opportunity to experiment witch many revolutionary ideas. Quite a few of these caught on and Titmuss began to influence like Queen Elizabeth I and Winston Churchill2 policies not only in Great Britain but also in the United States. That was not all. In the course of these experiments, Titmuss transformed the structure of welfare policy in Britain and radically reoriented many branches of the social sciences. Sociology and professional social work, the two new discipline, were like clay in his hands. With great dexterity the professor fashioned their con-
TL;DR: The author concludes that despite their economic problems and the conviction among the sighted villagers that they are helpless, the blind people in San Pedro Yolox are still hopeful.
Abstract: From earliest South, the sighted people in this village are accustomed to seeing blind people. There is no fear or hostility toward the blind, and sighted villagers can describe the world in terms meaningful to neighbours without sight. Begging is the predominant occupation of blind villagers. Besides having an economic function, it also provides &dquo;that sense of purposeful activity so vital to the sense of personal worth among the blind.&dquo;4 The author concludes that despite their economic problems and the conviction among the sighted villagers that they are helpless, the blind people in San Pedro Yolox are

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the family constitutes one of the most basic units of social structure in contemporary life, and that the social work profession represents a major, if not the primary, institutional mechanism for coping with the myriad of social problems encountered by families.
Abstract: * The author is Professor of Social Work and Acting Dean, George Warren Brown School of Social Work, Washington University, St. Louis. His paper is a revised and abridged version of a paper presented at the Annual Meeting of The Society for the Study of Social Problems, Denver, Colorado, August 1970. HE following discussion proceeds from three basic premises: (1 ) } that the family constitutes one of the most basic units of social structure in contemporary life, (2) that the social work profession represents a major, if not the primary, institutional mechanism for coping with the myriad of social problems encountered by families, and (3) that current and projected trends in family development, along with conceptual approaches regarding the family, are key determinants of the social work profession’s response to problems of family life. The first premise is readily substantiated in view of the observation that the vast majority of men and women in all societies are mar-
Abstract: ren (Sears et al, 1957). The interactions include parental expressions of love, interest, values, beliefs and attitudes as well as caretaking and training behaviour. Sociologically speaking these interactions are one separable class of events that prepare the child, intentionally or not, for continuing its life. If a society has survived beyond one generation, it quite evidently has cared for some of its offspring and has provided the skills needed for living. Some of this learning comes from parenfi-child interaction and some does not. Relatives, neighbours and peers play an important role too, as do teachers or others specifically charged with the training function. Once a child is beyond infancy, its personality is always a product of more social experiences than merely those offered by its parents.
TL;DR: Robinson as mentioned in this paper argued that social workers have not been aware for years of some of the facts of the population explosion, the world food shortage, the outrages of racism and colonialism and their destructive impact on human life, and the ultimate lunacy of war and military technology as ways of dealing with human relations.

HE world environmental crisis has come T suddenly and vividly into the consciousness of many members of the international social work community. Not that social workers ’have not been aware for years of some of the facts of the population explosion, the world food shortage, the outrages of racism and colonialism and their destructive impact on human life, and the ultimate lunacy of war and military technology as ways of dealing with human relations, and other problems.
