This paper describes changes in social work value, theory, and practice which have occurred since World War II. Loss of commitment to study and implementation of proc- esses directed to individual growth and development has come about concomitantly with increased interest in social structures and with a devaluation of knowledge concerning social process. If social work is not to become a largely managerial profession, more or less at the mercy of power-holders, appreciation for the importance of subjective aspects of social processes and the attainment of skill in their use are urgent necessities confront- ing the profession
