First Published in 1972, Youth in a Changing Society examines the ‘youth problem’, dealing with questions of alienation, drugs, juvenile crime, protest, the social cultural position of young people in Britain, and suggests a new way of thinking which should promote greater understanding of the relationships between the generations. The author, who is a leading authority in the area of youth and their activities, proposes ways in which social and educational agencies may put this understanding to practical use by creating a constructive relationship between the generations and between youth and our society.Dr Milson uses illustrative material from British and international sources and his account should be of interest to a wide audience.

First Published in 1973, An Introduction to Group Work Skill is designed to make the understanding of group work skills accessible to all- mothers, teachers, employers, as well as professional social workers. Dr Milson argues that this lengthy and imaginative excursion has been thought necessary as we are here concerned with the behaviour of people in groups which meet fairly regularly, which are small enough to provide opportunities for every member to know every other member as a person, and where there is a goal to be achieved which calls for a contribution from each.The author further argues that group work skill is composed of observation, interpretation, and action, and he proceeds to analyze each of these elements in successive chapters. This is an interesting read for students of sociology of work and social work.
