Case work in a neighbourhood house : the role and performance of a case worker in a group work settingBaycroft, Bernice Winnifred January 1952 (has links)
This study describes and evaluates the role and the performance of the case worker in a group work agency, on the basis of a student project which was carried out in "Gordon House", a neighbourhood house in the City of Vancouver, British Columbia. Two case work students from the School of Social Work at the University of British Columbia were assigned to the House as a second-year field placement, to set up case work services.
The period of the project was from September, 1949 until May, 1950.
The study analyses a sample set of cases, (records which were compiled by the students during the project), giving particular consideration to (l) the kinds of problems clients brought to the case worker, (2) the activities of the case worker in this setting, and (3) what the case workers added to the services which the agency already offered. The project as a whole is analysed, with particular reference to (a) problems of setting up the service, (b) the experimental interest of the project for social work practice, and (c) the value of the project to the community.
Considerable evidence was found to verify that there is a place for a case worker in the neighbourhood house, and that this place is one in which the case work function can find adequate fulfilment. A wide variety of personal problems are encountered in the membership of the House, and it requires a case worker with broad knowledge and skill as a practitioner to deal with them.
The case worker's role in the House is one which is complementary to group work, and which does not overlap existing community case work services. Working together, group workers and case workers can provide a specialized service for those seeking better personal adjustment.
The special significance of the study is in its clarification of the problems and advantages of adding a case worker to the staff of a group work agency, and what this can do for case work-group work cooperation in the community.
It is hoped that the study will stimulate thinking with regard to the combined use of existing social work skills, (group work and case work), on the treatment level and that something further will develop in the community to which this study might contribute, which would provide adequate treatment services for disturbed children. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate

The intake policies of group work agenciesDuMoulin, Phyllis Anne January 1947 (has links)
This study deals with theoretical aspects of sound intake policies in group work agencies, in general, and also with specific intake procedures as actually practised in Vancouver agencies at present. In this treatise, the term “intake” refers to the way in which a group-work agency deals with an individual from the time of his first contact with the agency in applying for membership until the time when he actually participates as a member of a group activity.
The author points out the pitfalls of haphazard, inadequately planned intake procedures and the necessity for a critical evaluation of both the agency’s facilities and of the individual applicant's needs if an agency is to fulfill its aims of developing human personalities through providing constructive group experience in leisure time pursuits. Intake procedures not only help workers to determine whether an agency can help the individual but also presents the client with a sample of the atmosphere and approach of the agency.
In discussing personnel assigned to the handling of intake, the writer points out the necessity also of careful choice of workers who have both an understanding of individual human
behaviour and also a complete knowledge of their agency's facilities, potentialities, and limitations. Intake must be based on an acceptance of the principle of individual selection and the use of both case work and group work skills.
The importance of keeping both quantitative and qualitative records of intake procedure is discussed. The writer describes the various ways of classifying quantitative records in relation to groups, individuals, or families, and lists the types of record forms used for individuals, groups, and agencies. The uses of statistical records are also described as they may be of value to group leaders, supervisors, agencies, or communities. The usefulness of qualitative records as a basis for evaluating various types of procedure in research projects is also stressed. Further chapters include discussion of bases for selection of personnel assigned to intake, and an evaluation of objectives and practices with regard to publicity and public relations.
Existing intake practices in Vancouver, British Columbia, are evaluated on the basis of replies to a questionnaire which was devised and submitted to seven group work agencies in that city. Agencies were asked for information as to their policies and practices with regard to orientation of the applicant, registrations, fees, requirements for eligibility for membership, referrals, selection of activity, and methods used to recruit membership.
Observations regarding the strengths and weaknesses of present intake methods used by the agencies studied and recommendations as to modifications and improvements for the future conclude the thesis. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate

Cultural arts in group work agenciesMcCosham, Beverley Jane Jerome January 1951 (has links)
This study investigates the special values of cultural arts programmes in leisure-time agencies. First, the contribution that cultural arts make to the broader field of recreation is studied. Then there are more detailed studies of the segments of cultural arts programmes. Social group workers should know some of the basic concepts of the administration of such a programme and its function in the total agency structure. Special sections are included on specific cultural arts as programme content: music, dancing, painting, drawing and design, drama and theatre, ceramics, other cultural programmes. The values of cultural arts to the members and how the leader uses the arts in helping the member develop are important. The broader aims of cultural arts and the way in which a cultural arts programme is established are discussed.
Material used in this thesis was gathered from many group work agencies. Replies to a set of questions were received from twenty-six people who represented eleven recreation agencies in Canada, and fifteen agencies in the United States. Y.M.C.A's, Y.W.C.A's, settlement houses, neighbourhood houses, and community centres are represented. The main material is derived from interviews with staff people from four Vancouver agencies: The Young Men's Christian Association, The Young Women's Christian Association, Gordon Neighbourhood House (both Senior and Junior houses), and Alexandra Neighbourhood House. Other information was received from correspondence.
The study throws light on the contribution that cultural arts programmes can make to group work agencies. Cultural arts help to develop the personality of the members and provide an excellent medium through which leaders can work effectively. Arts present exceptional opportunities for improving the quality and richness of programme content. Cultural arts programmes can be a part of the total philosophy and function of the agency.
The evidence is, that in group work agencies, cultural arts have not received the emphasis that should be placed on them. Examples reviewed in this study show that art and social group work are compatible. There seems to be a tendency for cultural arts to be more developed in longer-established agencies. It remains for the smaller and "younger" group work agencies to realize the values inherent in cultural art activities. The development of art activity in group work agencies depends upon an understanding of its contribution to individuals and groups. The total picture shows that the broad values of cultural arts programmes in group work agencies are recognized far more than they are put into practice. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate

Social group work with acting out adolescents in the school setting : a critique of two research studiesDodds, Valerie Marjorie January 1967 (has links)
The first purpose of this paper is to analyze two evaluative studies of social group work. The second purpose is the formulation of a researchable question derived from this analysis in relation to the current professional experience
of two graduate social work students doing field work in a Burnaby Junior High School.
A brief overall description of Girls at Vocational High and Seattle Atlantic Street Center is presented. A summary
of Elizabeth Herzog's Some Guidelines for Evaluative Research
follows and serves as a base for the analysis of these studies. Herzog's analysis and emphasis of the early phase of problem formulation is selected for study, and additional research
references on the topic are reviewed. The two evaluative studies are then examined in relation to problem formulation, and the definition of terms utilized in both studies are scrutinized.
One study failed to be explicit in problem formulation. The other, while more explicit, required further pre-evaluative work especially in the integration of the terminology with theory, and in the correlation of the use of terminology by field workers and research raters. The research project presents
conclusions and a researchable question which is formulated
on the basis of the analysis of the studies under investigation / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate
