The Relative Effectiveness of Legislative Campaigning in a School of Social Work
There are three interrelated strategies commonly used by social workers for coping with the conservative attack on social welfare institutions: client advocacy, electoral, and policy strategies. The paper evaluates the relative effectiveness of the policy strategy when 532 members of a school of social work were asked to write their legislators in support of progressive legislation. Five indicators of the relative effectiveness of this campaign w…
The Welfare Industry
Toward the Democratization of the Social Policy Process
The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the nature of social policies and the public policymaking process. It is demonstrated that public social policies tend to accrue an aura or ideology of benevolence that is only partially warranted, and that may be quite misleading to policy analysts and citizenry. The major thrust of the paper is to consider the social policy process as a strategy for public decision-making. As such, properly organized, …
Some Critical Questions in the Political Economy of Social Welfare - The Carter "Welfare Reform" Proposals
The purpose of this paper is to discuss President Carter's welfare reform proposals, appropriately titled, "The Program for Better Jobs and Income." If these proposals are adopted by Congress, they will guide the Administration in its stance toward and its work with the lowest income sectors of the nation: the welfare poor--those who cannot work and must be supported by the government, and the working poor--those who are able to support themselve…

Or is it the maldistribution of resources, technology, and social welfare benefits? How much of itsnational budget must the U.S. allocate to military expenditures?

The Impact of Urban Removal from a Child's Point of View
It is the premise of this paper that forced urban resettlement has more devastating consequences for children and their families than the usual voluntary moving process. The moving process, whether forced or voluntary, involves the following phases: a decision to change the place of residence, an exploration of housing opportunities in various areas, the final selection of one of these, activities associated with making the move, and activities a…
Toward Partisan Politics in a Professional Association
The purpose of this paper is to describe the initial efforts of one local chapter, The Puget Sound Chapter; to engage in partisan politics by the conduct of a poll of candidates for election to the Washington State Legislature in 1974. Properly speaking, the Chapter endorsed no candidates, merely rated them from "weak" to "outstanding" on their agreement with NASW policies on relevant programs and their social welfare attitudes. Thus, it is a mil…
The Benign Quota, An Unresolved Issue
The Classification of Family Interaction Problems for Treatment Purposes
Perhaps the preponderance of marital counseling is in the framework of individual therapy, where the total focus is on the sick member of the family.1 A second approach assumes that family disorders are basically due to individual disorders, but explicitly incorporates the total family into the treatment of its sick member. Thus the family is structured into a therapeutic milieu.2 The third approach, which is the topic of this paper, does not con…
