The book belongs to the Social work series and deals with the recording of the relief workers’ cases and the purposes it subserves. The record is made with a view to three ends: (1) the immediate purpose of furthering effective treatment of individual clients, (2) the ultimate purpose of general social betterment, and (3) the incidental purpose of establishing the case worker herself in critical thinking. To expound these three ends from every point of view is the purpose of the book. It is indexed and contains: The purpose of a social case history; A basis for the selection of material; Documents that constitute the history; Composition of the narrative; The narrative in detail; The wider implications of case recording.
“‘The social case history’ is a new landmark in the profession of social case work. No one hereafter can undertake case work without first mastering the material and the method put into permanent form by this book. It does for the case record, and incidentally for certain phases of treatment, what Miss Richmond’s book on ‘Social diagnosis’ has done for investigation.” Frank Bruno
