Welfare States
The article, “States of welfare: a conceptual challenge” (Veit–Wilson 2000) has received considerable attention. It suggested that the term “welfare state” had ceased to have sufficient analytical or descriptive usefulness.

It is suggested that Veit–Wilson seeks to limit the descrip…

Chaos Theory
Complexity theory, better known as chaos theory, has much to offer social work as a frame of reference for dealing with the uncertainty that characterizes many social work practice issues. To encourage social workers to think in terms of chaos theory, we discuss the origins of the theory and a variety of ways in which it has been used in other fields. We suggest how chaos theory can provide a useful alternative way of thinking about social work p…

Using the framework of social systems theory, this paper sees the major function of social work as the provision of interventive services at the level of the social system a…
