In the 1970s, social work in Britain was in crisis. A process of
self-searching had begun, stimulated by changes in the organization
of social services departments, by the growth of the radical
movement in social work, and by the emergence of new techniques in
social work. All this might have seemed a confusing and depressing
prospect, but Professor Howard Jones, the editor of this collection
of essays, originally published in 1975, felt on the contrary that
this new situation in social work presented an opportunity for a
potentially rewarding debate. He believed that the old
unsatisfactory mould had been broken, and that it was now possible
for the first time for many years to look at the basic issues in
social work without preconceptions. The contributors to this book
were all actively involved in the teaching and practice of social
work at the time, and they came together to initiate a debate on
the leading issues of the day. They were all concerned to find a
right course for social work in this crucial period, and among the
topics they cover are social work training, social workers and
political action, community participation, and making use of
research.
