ホケンジョ ソーシャルワーク ノ ヘンヨウ : リッチモンド ノ ケースワーク カテイ オ フマエテ

In this report, we examine changes in social work at healthcare centers, using statistical data from 1948 to 1958, field study data from the later 1950s, and cases around 1950. The results show that many social casework processes, as systematized by Ms. Richmond, including social investigation, diagnosis, and treatment, were not generally conducted in social work at healthcare centers during this period. This tendency started in 1948 when social work was introduced into healthcare centers and became notable after 1955. We refer to this approach as a “segmentalized social casework process” in this report.
