This paper is an attempt to assess the significance of the introduction into this country of an ‘integrated’ or ‘unitary’ approach to social work. An attempt is made to clarify the relationship between paradigms, theories and models. The author claims that an integrated approach to social work may represent a shift from a predominantly individualistic conceptual model of practice to an interactionist one. These conceptual models are compared and critiques of the integrated model are examined. The question is posed: is it possible to have an integrated model of practice without an integrated theory? Some suggestions are made concerning the essential characteristics of such a theory and the possible contribution of sociology to its development Finally, some implications of the model for practice and for social work education are discussed
