Louise De Marillac's Contribution to Social Service: A Study of Relief Methods and Theoretical Concepts as Seen in the Work of the Co-Foundress of the Vincentian Sisters of Charities 1591-1660
Abstract
A great deal has been written on the growth and accomplishments of movements which all go to make up social work as it is known today. During the early part of this century in the United States such writings gave a vivid picture of the evolution in thinking and the development of technique, which took part in the moulding of this profession. An historical study, or research, which will shed new light on the work of those who were the forerunners of modern social service should be of interest, because it can throw into relief our current concepts, and what we believe has resulted from our single efforts. The intention therefore with which the writer undertakes this study, is to look at the system which St. Louise de Marillac developed in France as a result of her interest in the welfare of people, during the seventeenth century.
