The "Case Work Notebook": An Analysis Of Its Content, Leslie B. Alexander, Philip Lichtenberg
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Although the contemporary trend of the unionization of both professional and non-professional social service workers merits careful examination of both socio-structural and ideological dimensions, the following study is confined to a historical analysis of the professional, more specifically, casework interests of a group of professional social work unionists in the late 1930s, early 1940s. The method of content analysis is used to examine several major themes within a regular section, "The Case Work Notebook," of the journal, Social Work Today, which was the major theoretical organ of the social work union movement.
The Measurement Of Personal Influence In Organization And Community, Roger A. Lohmann
The Measurement Of Personal Influence In Organization And Community, Roger A. Lohmann
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Discussions of personal influence in situations in communities and organizations are ordinarily abstract and theoretical. In this paper, a practical method for the measurement of influence in interactional terms is developed. The approach combines the use of Likert scales, sociometric techniques and a simplified version of "blockmodeling" using mathematical matrices. The method is outlined using a hypothetical social service agency with a seven-member staff.

Receiving Help: Management Strategies Of The Handicapped, Nancy A. Brooks
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The social act of helping is presented from the recipient's viewpoint. Interview material from handicapped adults and contributions from the literature on helping provide insight to the helped person's management and interpretation of being helped. Techniques employed in the management of help are described. Alternative strategies and interpretations are available to the helped person; receiving help is not necessarily demeaning as social norms suggest. The interaction between helper and helped person is the central concern.

Parity, Family Size Preference And The "Value Stretch", Virginia Aldige Hiday, Steven Polgar
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
A two-wave survey of women in their reproductive years living in poverty areas of New York City is used to investigate family size preferences among the poor. The hypotheses that parity affects family size preference and that current parity affects future parity are supported. Implications for future trends in family size preference and for family planning programs are discussed.
