Indications Of Feminist Influence On Contemporary Social Work Practice, Clara Elizabeth Miller
Indications Of Feminist Influence On Contemporary Social Work Practice, Clara Elizabeth Miller
Dissertations and Theses
It is criticism of traditional theory and methods, and the advocacy of new approaches that feminists have tried to present to social workers and to other professionals in mental health and other social services. The feminist goal has been to convince social workers and others to modify their beliefs and practice in order to be more helpful (as the feminists believe) to women. In this study of the beliefs and practice of social workers in Oregon, I attempt to find out to what extent, ten years after the "rebirth of feminism," they have adopted feminist beliefs and recommendations for practice.

Native American Social Work Symposium : An Evaluation, Lou Stone
Native American Social Work Symposium : An Evaluation, Lou Stone
Dissertations and Theses
The inconsistencies of the state and federal policy toward Native populations and additionally those inconsistencies within the two governments themselves, require the maintenance of Indian and Alaskan Native organizations with sophisticated mechanisms developed to advocate “reforms” in Indian services to meet unique Indian needs.
Indian and Alaskan Native social workers invariably find themselves at the confluence of client service provision and surviving the extension of policies available to them from resource allocators for the purpose of service provision. In order to approach this dilemma, the Native American Social Work Symposium, held in May of 1977, convened on the basis of …

Theoretical literature was equally available in Public Administration, Law and Land Use Planning. The Constitutions …
