New Premises For Planning In Appalachia, Richard A. Ball
New Premises For Planning In Appalachia, Richard A. Ball
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The Appalachian Region, particularly Southern Appalachia, has lived through several hundred years of frustration related to its history and geography. The history of the area has become better known during recent years, and it is a history of documented exploitation and socioeconomic disillusionment, a "biography of a depressed area" (Caudill, 1962). Geographically, the region has been regarded essentially as a barrier between the settled East and the fertile lands of the West, a place of rugged terrain and harsh conditions of life. This history and geography have played a large part in the problems which now afflict region and which …
Self-Interest, Social Welfare Policy And Social Problems, John P. Flynn
Self-Interest, Social Welfare Policy And Social Problems, John P. Flynn
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
This writer assumes that there is a reciprocal interdependence between the providers and the receivers of social welfare programs and explores one particular aspect of that exchange. A proposition explored here is that self-interest is a dynamic in social welfare policy formulation and that such a dynamic is founded on the basic assumption of reciprocal interdependence. The perception of newlyfound self-interests obtainable in alternative social welfare policy options is examined here as a factor in inducing purposive policy change.
It Is proposed here that the common characterization of the welfare relationship as a unilateral transfer has obscured the connection between …

Social Welfare As Coercive Social Control, Norman N. Goroff
Social Welfare As Coercive Social Control, Norman N. Goroff
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The key concepts which require some basic definitions in the title are "social welfare, social control and coercion". For the purposes of this paper, social welfare is defined as those public programs designed to provide an individual who is in financial need with the resources (financial and/or in kind) to exist in our society. Social control refers to the entire range of actions and pressures which are designed to lead the individual to function within society without threatening to disrupt the social order. These actions and pressures are embodied in sanctions for enforcing group norms as well as in formal …
National Income Insurance: Some Implications For Political And Economic Inequality, John B. Williamson
National Income Insurance: Some Implications For Political And Economic Inequality, John B. Williamson
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Several co-workers and I have recently completed an evaluation of sixty-three anti-poverty programs and proposals (Williamson, et. al., 1973, 1974). This paper briefly describes the study and some of our findings by way of introduction to the presentation and defense of a national income insurance proposal, This proposal is a synthesis of three highly rated anti-poverty strategies. It would within a few years have a substantial impact on the extent of the economic inequality in the United States.
An Evaluation Of The Case Against National Income Insurance, John B. Williamson
An Evaluation Of The Case Against National Income Insurance, John B. Williamson
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
In an earlier paper I outlined a proposal for a national income insurance plan and discussed the strengths of the approach (Williamson,1974c). Income insurance is a special case of the negative income tax or more generally of the guaranteed income. Negative income tax proposals of any kind are open to a variety of criticisms from both the left and the right. The national income insurance plan is no exception. In the present paper an attempt is made to anticipate and deal with the major arguments against the plan. Many of these arguments are equally applicable to other guaranteed income proposals. …
The Social Welfare Workers Movement: A Case Study Of New Left Thought In Practice, Stanley Wenocur
The Social Welfare Workers Movement: A Case Study Of New Left Thought In Practice, Stanley Wenocur
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
During the upheavals of the 1960's many human service professions and academic disciplines (e.g. psychology, sociology, law, medicine, etc.) underwent severe criticisms of their goals and methodologies, generated both from within and without. In social work one such critique came from the Social Welfare Workers Movement (SWWM), born out of protest-oriented activities at the National Conference on Social Welfare in new York City, 1969. Although SWWM dissipated after about two years, interest in radical social work is still very much alive today. The intent of this paper, then, is to record and analyze the career of the Social Welfare Workers …

Toward A More Adequate Concept Of "Organization" In Social Work Practice Theory, Buford E. Farris
Toward A More Adequate Concept Of "Organization" In Social Work Practice Theory, Buford E. Farris
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
A generic model of social work practice requires the formulation of frameworks that indicate what is meant by intervention at the "organizational" level. Usually "organization" is put at some midpoint in a hierarchy of social levels (such as individual, small group, organization, local community, society). However, when one looks at the various social work practice frameworks, there is very little development of knowledge about the process of intervention at this mid-level. Since the "macro" levels of community and society can probably be best conceptualized as "inter-organizational" arenas, social work practice knowledge for these levels is also hindered. This article intends …
The Interorganizational Relationships Of A Public Welfare Agency, Burton Gummer
The Interorganizational Relationships Of A Public Welfare Agency, Burton Gummer
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The American social welfare field is best characterized as a highly decentralized sphere of activity in which autonomous organizations define and pursue their goals in a fairly independent fashion. The complex nature of modern social problems, however, requires concerted action by a variety of organizations if effective solutions are to be developed. This conflict between the structural nature of the welfare field and the demands of the problems to be addressed has meant that social welfare planners have had to be concerned with the conditions affecting the willingness of independent organizations to engage in cooperative activities with each other. The …
The Convergence Of The Interactionist And Behavioral Approaches To Deviance, Stuart A. Kirk, Eileen D. Gambrill
The Convergence Of The Interactionist And Behavioral Approaches To Deviance, Stuart A. Kirk, Eileen D. Gambrill
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
This paper compares two theoretical perspectives on deviance, the behavioral and interactionist. Although these two perspectives arise from separate disciplines and intellectual traditions, we will argue that their approaches to the study of deviance in general and to mental illness in particular share many basic similarities, as well as some important differences, and that an analysis of each helps us understand the limitations and strengths of the other.
The behavioral and interactionist perspectives are chosen for examination for three reasons. First, it is our opinion that these two theoretical approaches represent the most creative recent work by sociologists and psychologists …
Suicide -- Causation, Indicators And Interventions, Florence W. Kaslow
Suicide -- Causation, Indicators And Interventions, Florence W. Kaslow
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Excerpt from the full-text article:
In this paper an attempt is made to determine what factors propel given individuals toward self destruction. Durkheim's typology of suicides is utilized and an analysis of the social and psychological components of each type undertaken. The social structure is viewed from the vantage point of how it influences and is internalized by members of society. The psychological aspects are handled by looking into what intrapsychic and external forces shape the individual's personality and behavior in such a way that he seeks his own death. In some instances it is hard to draw a sharp …
Protective Services: Coercive Social Control Or Mutual Liberation, Alfred J. Fortin
Protective Services: Coercive Social Control Or Mutual Liberation, Alfred J. Fortin
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Excerpt from the full-text article:
The area of protective services for children has always been a difficult one for social work. Protective casework has, and is now, both praised and condemned simultaneously from different elements of the community. The stakes in the protective field are usually high and players are subject to various episodes of the "emotional plague" as Wilhelm Reich would have called it. People in protective work exercise their role as worker in a variety of ways and these 'styles' range from being police-like and oppressive to radical and promoting social change. It is characteristic of this work …
Toward Partisan Politics In A Professional Association: Utility Of The Candidates Poll, L. K. Northwood, Howard Crockett
Toward Partisan Politics In A Professional Association: Utility Of The Candidates Poll, L. K. Northwood, Howard Crockett
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The purpose of this paper is to describe the initial efforts of one local chapter, The Puget Sound Chapter; to engage in partisan politics by the conduct of a poll of candidates for election to the Washington State Legislature in 1974. Properly speaking, the Chapter endorsed no candidates, merely rated them from "weak" to "outstanding" on their agreement with NASW policies on relevant programs and their social welfare attitudes. Thus, it is a mild form of partisan politics that will be considered.
The paper will analyze the social and organizational context in which the candidates' poll occurred, and then report …
