Description

This seminal work, first published in the 1960s, presents a groundbreaking exploration of social work from the client's perspective. Through free-flowing interviews, the book captures authentic accounts of working-class clients' experiences within social work agencies, addressing a critical gap in research that had largely overlooked the service user's viewpoint. The study reflects growing recognition of consumer opinion's importance in social services, influenced by emerging consumer advocacy movements in education and medical fields. Routledge's publication brings essential insights into the casework relationship, documenting how clients perceive and interact with social workers and agency systems. This foundational text remains valuable for social work scholars, practitioners, and students seeking to understand institutional dynamics and client agency from those directly affected by social services.

Key Features

First published in the 1960s, this Routledge title pioneers research methodology centred on client experiences rather than professional perspectives.

Employs free-flowing interview techniques to gather authentic qualitative data about working-class clients' lived experiences within social work agencies.

Addresses the absence of consumer voice in social services research, reflecting mid-century debates about service user participation and agency accountability.

Provides historical context for understanding the relationship between clients and caseworkers during a pivotal period in social work development.

Essential resource for scholars, practitioners and students studying social work history, institutional dynamics and client-centred approaches to service delivery.
