Foster Care Research by Graduate Students: A Synthesis of Eighty-Five Dissertations on Foster Care Done at the Fordham University School of Social Service, 1927-1957

Ryan Richard Joseph, Fordham University

Abstract

There was a time when the discerning layman would take inordinate pleasure in thumbing his nose at the Social Work profession for, among other things, its narrowness, its fixation on Freud and the fashionably imponderable quirks of the unconscious and its strange, dissonant jargon. It dealt, so the indictment pointed out, mainly with trivia, the nebulous, and the unnerving task of creating and maintaining its sacred niche in the stratosphere of the Professions.
