A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Although these have been generally accepted by hospital administrators and social workers alike, and the necessity for specialized training has been recognized, adequate provision for such education has not yet been made. Many leaders in clinical medicine now recognize the value of medical-social service to a large percentage of patients. A modification of the manner of life of the sick person, changes in his health habits, his co-operation in the plan of treatment, and the elimination of obstacles to such treatment are necessary at all economic levels. In conjunction with their private practice, physicians who appreciate the value of this service are turning to hospital social workers for discriminating knowledge of the various health and medical resources available to patients who can pay as well as to those who cannot, and for a type of social experience that they recognize as skilled. But whether or not a more general application of the service to sick people regardless of their financial status be developed rests largely with hospital social workers themselves.
