Basic Concepts in Social Case Work

Social case work is a young and rapidly changing profession in which differences of method and technique have been prominent. The author approaches this difficulty by a careful examination of fundamental aims. The psychological concepts of ambivalence, will and denial, relationship, movement, projection and identification, interpretation and recognition, focus, level, and casuality are defined.
