Thomas Frederick Mealey, Fordham University

Abstract

A question often asked in the field of social work is : Do social caseworkers become involved in social action, and if so, to what extent? It is the hypothesis of this writer that despite social work’s current interest in the social action issue, second year casework students attending schools of social work in the greater metropolitan New York City area, do not perceive social action as being part of their role function as evidenced either in their daily professional practice or in extra-curricular activities.
