Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the nascent but important field of social work in the United States. At the opening of the 20th century, social work was essentially a voluntary charitable sector. This book traces the evolution of the field to professional status, as its practitioners increasingly applied scientific theory to ameliorate social conditions. By the time of the Great War, social work had expanded beyond its traditional focus on the individual to encompass broader community and political engagement. The author argues that this was a necessary step for social work to attain its goal of improving the common welfare. The emergence and standardization of curricula, which combined practical and theoretical instruction, was key in the development of the social work profession. This book is an invaluable resource for students, practitioners, and scholars seeking to understand the intellectual, social, and economic forces that shaped the development of social work in America.
