Description

Explore a landmark study in the history of social work with Helping the Aged: A Field Experiment in Social Work. Published by Routledge, this text provides a deep look into the era of 1970 when the demand for social workers was rising rapidly. As professionals grew in number, critical questions emerged regarding their methods, objectives, and the overall effectiveness of their efforts. This book addresses the intense controversy between researchers and practitioners that followed previous studies in the United States regarding social casework effectiveness. It presents the first British attempt to assess social work effectiveness through a dedicated field experiment. Led by a social worker, this research offers a historical perspective on how the profession evaluated its impact on the community. This volume is part of the National Institute Social Services Library collection, making it a significant resource for those studying the evolution of public health, social casework, and the development of professional standards in social work practices.
