Book excerpt: The University of Pennsylvania School of Social Policy and Practice is an acknowledged leader in cultivating theoretical and practical social work knowledge. Celebrating the School's centennial, this volume heralds the progressive thinking of its leaders and students while setting the stage for the next century of work at the frontier of the field. Following the School's approach, the book upholds the core values of social work: a clear understanding and respect for the past; analysis of current and professional issues; a vision of the future that reflects a commitment to social change; and the dissemination of knowledge on local, national, and global issues. The intellectual history of the School's founders, faculty, and students is reconstructed through an extensive collection of articles on a variety of social work themes that employ both data-based research and theoretical analysis. The volume contains key contributions from practitioners affiliated with the School, from the early pioneers in 1908 to recent alumni and current faculty in 2008. A Century of Social Work and Social Welfare at Penn will be an enduring resource for scholars and historians of social work and social welfare as well as a point of reference and pride for those influenced by the achievements of the School's faculty and students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The School of Social Work of the University of Pennsylvania was founded in 1909, at a time when problems of social welfare were considered the province of privately supported charitable organizations. Since then radical changes in social thought have occurred and the past decades have witnessed a growing recognition of the need for society as a whole to assume responsibility for the cure of social ills. Social work itself has become a "legitimate" profession, and the School of Social Work has earned its as a member of the University community. In connection with the celebration of its fiftieth the School of Social Work invited the presentation of four major papers outstanding in the field of social welfare. These papers, published in this volume, relate to the four areas of curriculum in the educational program of graduate schools of social work, namely, Research, Human Growth and Development, the Social Services, and Social Work Practice. The paper on research is by Ewan Claque, Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who was the first director of the School's Research Department and a stimulating "reporter" for the students of the dramatic events then taking place in Washington as the new Social Security program was brought into being. Paul B. Sears is the author of the paper dealing with human growth and eevelopment. He is the Director of the Conservation Department of Yale University and a scientist who is very much concerned with the problems of human destiny and morality. The area of the social services is dealt with by Karl deSchweinitz, formerly Director of the School of social Work, the first Secretary of Public Assistance of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and in more recent years, author of several outstanding books and articles about personnel and procedures in public welfare. Social work practice is discussed in the fourth paper, by Ruth Smalley, Dean of the School of Social Work. The unusual range of her experience in social work makes it possible for her to identify the particular significance, for both practice and education for social work today, in the first three papers. And social workers everywhere will draw inspiration from her cogent analysis of the crucial issues which must be dealt with by the social work profession in the years ahead. These papers are presented, says Roy F. Nichols, Vice-Provost of the University of Pennsylvania, in his foreword to this volume, in the belief "that their breadth of view illustrates significant growth in the understanding of the problems of society which engage the dedicated attention of this profession."

Hyde's book, Empowering Workers and Clients for Organizational Change, prepares students to successfully engage in organizational change practice. The editors focus on "low power actors"-students, line staff, volunteers, clients, social workers-who can utilize their experience and knowledge gained from client and community interaction to initiate broad scale change. These workers are often the most informed about the clients' needs and are well positioned to collaborate with clients, constituents, supervisors, and managers in ways that can empower everyone. The contributing authors provide extensive case examples of real-life organizational change instituted by low-power actors that demonstrate the theories discussed throughout the book. They then go on to discuss strategies to assess the structural characteristics of agencies, organizational culture, and empowerment. This book also covers present force field analysis as an assessment framework to help promote change within human service agencies at the client service level.

Book excerpt: Empathy: A History tells the fascinating and largely unknown story of the first appearance of empathy in 1908 and tracks its shifting meanings over the following century. Despite the word's ubiquity today, few realize that it began as a translation of Einfühlung ("in-feeling"), a term in German psychological aesthetics that described how spectators projected their own feelings and movements into objects of art and nature. Remarkably, this early conception of empathy transformed into its opposite over the ensuing decades. Social scientists and clinical psychologists refashioned empathy to require the deliberate putting aside of one's feelings to more accurately understand another's. By the end of World War II, interpersonal empathy entered the mainstream, appearing in advice columns, popular radio and TV, and later in public forums on civil rights. Even as neuroscientists continue to map the brain correlates of empathy, its many dimensions still elude strict scientific description. This meticulously researched book uncovers empathy's historical layers, offering a rich portrait of the tension between the reach of one's own imagination and the realities of others' experiences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One Hundred Years of Social Work is the first comprehensive history of social work as a profession in English Canada. Organized chronologically, it provides a critical and compelling look at the internal struggles and debates in the social work profession over the course of a century and investigates the responses of social workers to several important events. A central theme in the book is the long-standing struggle of the professional association (the Canadian Association of Social Workers) and individual social workers to reconcile advancement of professional status with the promotion social action. The book chronicles the early history of the secularization and professionalization of social work and examines social workers roles during both world wars, the Depression, and in the era of postwar reconstruction. It includes sections on civil defence, the Cold War, unionization, social work education, regulation of the profession, and other key developments up to the end of the twentieth century. Drawing on extensive archival research as well as personal interviews and secondary literature, the authors provide strong academic evidence of a profession that has endured many important changes and continues to advocate for a just society and a responsive social welfare state. One Hundred Years of Social Work will be of interest to social workers, social work students and educators, social historians, professional associations and anyone interested in understanding the complex nature of people and institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revision of the authors' best-selling text continues to inspire student interest in the profession of social work, while helping them to understand the role that the profession plays in the social welfare system. The authors' systems/ecological approach to understanding social welfare focuses on specific social welfare areas in which social workers play major roles in policy and practice. The authors encourage students to consider the many reasons social problems occur and to begin to think critically about the issues in a new way, drawing on the book's coverage of the history, values, economic, political, and cultural factors that affect social work and social welfare. The book gives students a broad understanding of the profession of social work itself, including a brief history of its origin, a discussion of various theoretical principles, as well as applications of these principles to common social problems.
