With this in consideration, the author argues that social work has completely lost itsplace in public assistance has achieved its major professional goal of becoming a fully licensed and privileged provider of mental health services, but is at risk of losing its dominance in this institution due to the emergence of competing mental health professions and maintains dominance only inchild welfare. It is argued that social work has had a significant role in three social institutions: public assistance, mental health, and child welfare. The data for the "bottom up" content in the book was obtained from archival records of agencies including the Philadelphia Almshouse, the Green Bay Wisconsin Department of PublicWelfare, Minneapolis Family and Children's Services, the New York Charity Organization Society, the Boston Children's Aid Society, and the Boston Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.This text also places social work practice in its institutional context. As with other parts of the book, this is done on two levels: from the top down, looking at the writings, conference presentations, and training course material developed by leaders of the profession, and from the bottomup, looking at case records for evidence of techniques that were actually applied by social workers in the field. A particularly unique feature of the book isthat it chronicles and analyzes the development of social work practice theory.
