Book Description
Excerpt from Social Work Yearbook, 1935: A Description of Organized Activities in Social Work and in Related Fields Proposals for reform, unless actively espoused by social agencies, are not considered. For example, the damaging effect of the depression upon the clients of their agencies constitutes a challenge to all professional social workers. What Should be their attitude toward plans for preventing future depressions, in contrast to programs which aim to mitigate their severity or furnish help for enduring them? The response which social workers have made to that challenge is not discussed in the functional articles of the present issue, for such a discussion - entering the realm of political and eco nomic theory - is not in harmony with the purpose of the Year Book. It has seemed appropriate, however, to record the impact of these problems upon the profession of social work and to outline the major proposals for prevent ing unemployment crises with which social workers, as individuals, have more or less formally allied themselves. This record has been supplied by Kenneth L. M. Pray in an article entitled unemployment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
