Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. Social work has been a tirelessly evolving field. Early incarnations of providing aid and carrying out social services were observed in the church and later in politics with the rise of public relief systems. The 19th century's social movements were largely pioneering and offered little in the way of professional training. The first formal training courses for social work were developed in the early 1900s, mirroring the development of professional education in other areas. After decades of growth and standardization, the social work field is on the cusp of being recognized as a true, learned profession, with a focus on adjusting personal relationships and resolving conflict, using functional tests to apply scientific methods and principles. This book follows the lineage of social work's development, examining the ways in which the field has responded to changes in society over time, from the apprenticeship system and charity model to the scientific methods and professionalized focus of the present day. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
