Evaluating a social work department in psychiatric hospital.

It has become increasingly important, as an administrative aid in assessing the functioning of hospital social work departments and improving their services, to determine and evaluate their activities. This article reports on a study conducted by the social work department in a Canadian university psychiatric hospital to determine the work load of social workers, aspects of the process of referring persons for social work services, and differences between hospitalized persons who do or do not receive social work services.

The myth of the multi-problem family.

It is suggested that the concept "multi-problem family" is a myth when viewed in the context of our current service delivery system. That system, itself fragmented, may do more to promote than relieve family distintegration, conflict, and personal anxiety. Continued professional training and tendencies that lead to viewing problems presented by individuals only as individual problems may result in overlooking opportunities for total family approaches to treatment and prevention.

Program planning, evaluation, and the problem of alcoholism.

Rational program planning and evaluation has been suggested as a necessary skill. First, a conceptual framework for planning and evaluation was presented and discussed, using the example of preventing alcoholism and providing services and rehabilitation for alcoholics. Second, a case study was presented, which is similar to that used by many professionals in their efforts to plan programs. Finally, some of the marked limitations of the case study were pointed out, when it was projected upon the conceptual framework.
