An Overview of Administration, Policy and Planning as Specializations in Social Welfare Practice
Abstract
The fields of social policy, planning, & administration offer
substantial opportunities to social service professionals. At the same
time, the status of these fields is influenced by factors including
the present relatively negative climate of PO regarding social work,
sociological complexity & fragmentation of the field, conflict
between ideologies, & the field's historical development. A
unitary conception of social work practice is formulated & its
implications for policy, planning, & administration are
considered; social work is interpreted as a professional effort to
improve the quality of life by resolving conflict between social &
personal interests. W. H. Stoddard.
