The Shadow of Death Over Aging
The twentieth century has been a time of great economic and social stress during which people have experienced war, economic depression, and the failure of philosophical sustenance. Technological discoveries, which have prolonged life, have also presented older people with problems of adjustment for which they are ill prepared. Only their remarkable capacities for adaptation, relearning, and renewal have armed them to withstand the onslaught of d…

American Social Values and Social Welfare
This article examines the relationship between American social values and social welfare programs. It argues that the emphasis on individual achievement and self-reliance in American culture has shaped the development of social welfare policies, often resulting in a stigma associated with receiving assistance. The author explores how these values influence public attitudes towards welfare recipients and the design of programs aimed at alleviating…
The Outlook for the American Family
Recent developments have created new needs which only the family can meet. Such needs are created by our bureaucratic way of life and the advances of medical and welfare services made available by our government. The resulting functions for marriage partners are (1) orchestration with such institutions as health care services, school system, social security system; (2) management of available time around self-determined priorities; (3) sexual syn…
Issues in Family Diagnosis and Family Therapy
This paper traces the development of interest in family diagnosis and family therapy in the fields of social work and psychiatry. A theoretical basis is presented for an understanding of the family as an organization for the satisfaction of maintenance and developmental needs. It is pointed out that no classification system of family pathology has been developed so far and that, in consequence, a family diagnosis in the technical sense is still i…

Untested Assumptions and Disregarded Factors in Manpower Research
Manpower in America cannot be allocated by totalitarian means. At times such means may seem attractive, but this is not a form of attraction which we can afford to offer our citizens. Any study of manpower allocation must take a good many factors into consideration. The four original professions—the ministry, law, medicine, and teaching—have been augmented by dozens more. These new professions are almost exclusively involved with helping, rather …

not interfere with, modify, or handicap the securing of facts. In research interviews the interviewer, unaware of these matters, is, on occasion, likely to be deflected from factfinding to giving advice or to becoming the object of the subject's emotional displacement. There are many other important techniques of interviewing which the trained caseworker could contribute to social psychology, especially in collecting those types of data not easil…

Discrimination Against Older Workers in Industry
The complaint about discrimination against older workers is more than a century old. It has culminated in the belief that modern industry scraps the workers at the age of forty. An analysis of census data suggests that the size of this problem has been greatly overstated. It seems also that some of the reasons advanced for differential treatment of older workers are valid. Discrimination, therefore, probably exists only to a much smaller extent t…
