About the Book

What Is Social Case Work? An Introductory Description (1922) is a book written by Mary Ellen Richmond that provides a comprehensive overview of the field of social case work. The book is intended as an introductory guide for students and practitioners of social work, and covers a wide range of topics related to the field, including the history and development of social case work, its principles and methods, and the role of the social worker in helping individuals and families in need.Richmond begins by defining social case work and explaining its purpose, which is to help individuals and families overcome problems and challenges that prevent them from achieving their full potential. She then discusses the various factors that contribute to social problems, such as poverty, illness, and social injustice, and explains how social case workers can address these issues through a combination of counseling, advocacy, and community organizing.Throughout the book, Richmond emphasizes the importance of building strong relationships with clients and communities, and stresses the need for social workers to be empathetic, non-judgmental, and culturally sensitive. She also explores the ethical considerations involved in social case work, such as confidentiality and the boundaries of the client-worker relationship.Overall, What Is Social Case Work? An Introductory Description (1922) is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the field of social work, providing a clear and accessible introduction to the principles and practices of social case work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
