Cradle to Grave
The welfare state in the Western world - American, British and Scandanavian experience the unusual case of Switzerland what are the lessons? towards reform of British and American social policy
Response by Ralph Segalman to Isidore Walliman's review of The Swiss Way of Welfare which appeared in Volume XV, Number 2 (June, 1988)
I find the Walliman review deeply faulted in many ways
The Swiss Way of Welfare
This book presents the basic premises of Swiss social policies and indicates how they differ from those of other nations. The Swiss Way of Welfare shows why the Swiss system works in preventing poverty and dependence when systems in other Western nations seem to be troubled

On the Promise of Symbolic Interaction For Social Welfare (A comment by the editor of the special issue)

In the defense of the rights of individuals and gro…
The 'Credentials Trap' and Social Work Staff Utilization
Excerpt from the full-text article: From an examination of the foregoing charted analysis, it is apparent that social work probably cannot make much progress until it has overcome its "identity crisis." Differentiation of tasks based on outmoded or societally irrelevant models can only aggravate, rather than solve social work's confusion in relation to more effective utilization of manpower and resources
American models of social welfare and the developing nations
Communalities and Strains between Sociology and Social Work
Excerpt from the full-text article: Despite the seeming Intolerance between the discipline and the profession, and the seeming communications gaps between each of the four models in each of the fields, It is clear that each of the models serves a purpose In the discipline, In the profession and in society. If the social distance between these models can be bridged and If increased tolerance for the seeming mutual incongruity of concepts and behav…
