Talking about Welfare: Readings in Philosophy and Social Policy
Social Welfare: Why and How?
A Sociological Approach to Social Problems (RLE Social Theory)
The topics covered in this book are directly related to much of the misunderstanding of what sociology is about. It is usual nowadays to label as sociological any discussion concerned, however loosely, with ‘Society’.

Taking Social Work Seriously: The Contribution of the Functional School
This article explores a largely ignored account of the practice called social work, that was developed by what is known in the USA as the Functional School of Social Work.
