Theory and Practice of Social Case Work

“In this book the author’ stated purpose is to analyze and reconcile some of the more significant elements of theory and practice in the field of social work today. While her primary focus is on the present, she views it in the light of extensive and profound changes that have occurred in the past twenty years, all these determinants of present theory and practice are woven into the picture as the author attempts to find and redefine social case work. The complex task has yielded an intricate result.” – Extracted from the Book Review by Charlotte Towle, published in the Social Service Review (The University of Chicago Press)

This is the ninth printing of the book, the previous eight having been published by the Columbia University Press, New York.
