Welfare Reform
The Bleak Prospect for Public Child Welfare
In this commentary I provide a rapid review of the twentieth‐century development of public child welfare, identifying blows that degraded the system from the 1960s on. I assess the steps that were taken to reform the system moderately (administrative restructuring, permanency planning, family preservation, case management) as well as the more radical reform proposals. All this leads to my prediction of a bleak prospect for public child welfare, a…

Professional Practice as Policy
Day-by-day clinical practice extensively expresses policy judgments and creates policy. This may be seen in the very assumptions of professional practice, in the all but unnoticed structure of agency rules and procedures, and in the practitioner's attentiveness to the relationship of clients to altering social surroundings. The widespread view that practice is technical and largely devoid of value choices derives from selective or misguided inter…

Views of Family Policy
I have thought for some time (Schorr, 1962) that three major traditions in the United States operate in opposition to an explicit family policy. First, our goals are individualistic. Though it may appear that pursuit of individual development has reached new heights, in fact, liberation and egalitarianism (child in relation to parent, wife in relation to husband and vice versa) are ingrained in our national character, reaching back to Colonial ti…

Family values and public policy
Ideology and public policy are so intimately related that they may only with difficulty be seen separately. This essay attempts to view one kind of ideology, American family values, and predict the manner in which they will affect public policy and be altered by public policy. Whatever its intrinsic hazards, prediction for the last quarter of the century affords relative safety for a few years anyway. The term 'family values' is used broadly here…

The nonculture of poverty
The attitudes associated with culture of poverty are a realistic response to the facts of poverty. Research demonstrated that poor nutrition and housing produce reactions associated with a culture of poverty. The civil rights movement suggests, besides, that in the culture of poverty there may be unrecognized affirmative attitudes
