This book, based on in-depth interviews of radical social workers,
who at one time were associated with the Catalyst collective,
explores through oral history the social psychological effects of
upward mobility on political ideology. Historically large numbers
of idealistic activists entered social work and other human
services professions, but there have been few studies about the
careers of such individuals and what has happened to radicals who
pursue careers as community organizers, caseworkers or therapists,
administrators or planners. Contents: A Radical Professionalism?;
Radical Social Work; The Moral Careers of Radical Social Service
Workers-Becoming Radical, Becoming Social Workers, Images of
Success/Worlds of Pain, and Occupations and Ideology; Radicalism,
Social Action, and Social Service Careers-The Decline of
Oppositional Activism, Politics at the Retail Level: 'Radical
Practice', The Absorption of Radicalism; and Bibliography.
