C. R. Attlee Social Worker

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This book, which is the first of a series dealing with social questions, is intended to be not only a general introduction to the subject of social service but to deal more particularly with the social worker. It aims at providing those who are contemplating participation in social work of some kind with a general sketch of the opportunities of service that present themselves. These will be dealt with in more detail in subsequent volumes. It is also an attempt to show what are the qualifications and training desirable in the social worker.<br><br>Although this series is issued under the aegis of the University of London Ratan Tata Department of Social Science and Administration, the opinions expressed in each volume are those of the authors, and must not be taken as committing the Department generally to them. In my opinion, for a book on a social subject to have any value it must necessarily express the personal views and experience of the writer, and, despite his endeavours to be impartial, the author may very possibly appear biassed to those who do not share his outlook.
