First published in 1970, the aim of the book is to ‘map the logical geography’ of an important set of concepts which enter into the theory of social casework – those concerning the individual and society. Concepts examined include the individually orientated values of ‘self-direction’ and ‘acceptance’, and those of ‘role’, ‘adjustment’ and ‘integration’, which express the individual’s relation to society. The author’s main concern is to see whether a coherent theory of the relationship between individual and society can be given in terms of these concepts and to argue that such a theory is fundamental to casework discussion.Mr Plant also discusses what, if any, social or political commitments the activity of casework presupposes, and evaluates the view that casework is ‘apolitical’.
