Social Work: Search for Identity (Contributions to the Study of Popular Culture,)

Leslie Leighninger fills an important gap in the social work literature with her in-depth examination of the development of social work as a profession from the 1930s through the 1960s. She explores the major changes that took place during this period--the creation of a broad professional association, solidification of a system of graduate education, development of an undergraduate training program, the rise and demise of a union movement, and the professionalization of public welfare--in a broad historical context.Leslie Leighninger is the author of 'Social Work: Search for Identity (Contributions to the Study of Popular Culture,)', published 1987 under ISBN 9780313247750 and ISBN 0313247757.
