Eileen Younghusband - Böcker

Originally published in 1964, this book studies social work in relation to the evolving role of social workers in the social services and to their training at the time. Dr Younghusband considers past discoveries and setbacks insofar as they bear upon the present position, and she studies the present for the light it casts on the future. Her emphasis is upon the new situation created as knowledge advances and the social services become increasingly aware of personal problems and social disabilities. The contribution of social work to mental health is indeed a continuing theme throughout this book. There are chapters on the juvenile courts; and a section on international aspects in which the philosophy of social work and its contribution to social change are discussed.At the time of publication the author was Adviser on Social Work Training at the National Institute for Social Work Training, and President of the International Association of Schools for Social Work. She had also been for some twenty-five years chairman of a London Juvenile Court and was chairman of the Working Party on Social Workers in the Local Authority Health and Welfare Services (Ministry of Health). She had been from time to time a Social Affairs Consultant to the United Nations and was a lecturer at the London School of Economics. To social workers, whether active at the time, or in training, she would have needed no introduction and they will have welcomed a book incorporating her immense experience and all the originality and clarity of thought they had learned to expect from her.

Originally published in 1965, this book gathers together some outstanding contributions to various aspects of social work with families. The subject was now more than ever of concern to social workers, as fresh knowledge added to their understanding of the dynamics of family life and interaction. The papers which compose the book were written by well-known authors from both sides of the Atlantic. They are arranged in three sections dealing with: normal and less normal families as a group; with particular crisis situations for children; and with some more theoretical concepts contributing to an understanding of family types.This volume was the first in a series of Readings in Social Work designed to collect together significant articles on different aspects of social work.

Originally published in 1966, this book gives examples of the most advanced thought about casework by well-known writers in England and the United States at the time. The ground covered includes: the use of some current sociological theory in casework; analysis of the interpersonal relationships in casework; new thought about the appropriate use of authority with people whose own internal controls are weak and unreliable; and recent advances in understanding and working with people who respond to action more easily than to words.These articles by well-known authorities illustrate the increased range of insight and skill required of modern caseworkers, and at the same time are highly readable, conveying complex ideas in language refreshingly free from jargon.

Originally published in 1967, this volume of the Readings in Social Work series would appeal especially to social workers, administrators, social work teachers and those who were becoming increasingly concerned about the whole question of value assumptions in social work at the time. So far little had been written on a subject of lively discussion amongst practitioners and students alike; in this volume are gathered together some of the most influential and often quoted articles which had appeared in Britain and the United States in recent years. They deal not only with the general ethics of professional practice and specific situations but also with conflicting value judgments in administrative settings and the relation between administration and values.

Some outstanding contributions to a better understanding of the issues of education for social work have been brought together in this volume, originally published in 1968. Because of the wide relevance of the subject these articles should be valuable not only to social work educators and field supervisors in many different parts of the world, but to others concerned with professional education. Today it can be enjoyed in its historical context.

First published in 1978, Social Work in Britain, 1950–1975, a two-volume work, describes and analyzes the main developments in the education and employment of social workers during the twenty-five years 1950–75. These developments are placed within the context of unprecedented rapid change within both the statutory and voluntary social services.This book examines in detail every aspect and method of contemporary social work, including childcare, probation and prison welfare, medical social work, family casework, residential care, psychiatric social work, services for the elderly and the handicapped, education welfare, the youth service, group work, and community work. Above all, it evaluates the nature of the changes that occurred and the response of a young and emerging profession to these developments: to structural changes in the social services resulting from the Kilbrandon and Seebohm reports; to the changing role of voluntary agencies and the growing use of volunteers; to the growth of professional associations; to the massive increases in the number of those undergoing training and education in the universities, polytechnics and colleges; and to the development of new theories of social work and of social work research. Throughout the book, Dame Eileen compares and contrasts the achievements, problems, and outlook of the 1950s with the mid-1970s.This is a unique and comprehensive study based on first-hand knowledge, wide reading, and considerable consultation with key people in the public and voluntary services, the training councils and in the field. It will be an invaluable resource for social workers, administrators, social work educators and researchers of social work.
