Correction and Social Work

Abstract

Every decade since the 1930's, the Council on Social Work Education has issued a curriculum policy statement as a guide and framework for the curriculum development of accredited schools of social work in the United States and Canada. The fourth such statement, issued in 1962, sets forth a number of new directions for the curriculum which emphasize social func tioning, prevention, control, and the methods of group and community organization. It distinguishes between social work as a profession and social welfare as a field.
