Biography of one Jane Addams best friend written after Julia Lathrop's death. As one of the four members of the inner circle at Hull-House, Julia Lathrop played an instrumental role in the field of social reform for more than fifty years. Working tirelessly for women, children, immigrants and workers, she was the first head of the federal Children's Bureau, an ardent advocate of woman suffrage, and a cultural leader. She was also one of Jane Addams's best friends. My Friend, Julia Lathrop is Addams' lovingly rendered biography of a memorable colleague and confidant. The memoir reveals a great deal about the influence of Hull-House on the social and political history of the early twentieth century. An introduction by long-time Addams scholar Anne Firor Scott provides a broader account of women's work in voluntary associations.

Franz Gross died suddenly during preparations for the meeting. He would have taken great pleasure in summarizing in this preface the aims and results of a gathering which so clearly bore his imprint as Chairman of the Scientific Program Committee. His sudden passing away is deeply regretted by all of us: organizers, speakers and participants. We greatly respect him for his exceptional abilities, his impact on science and his qualities as a human being. He provided the impulse for a well balanced and topical scientific program. We therefore dedicate the proceedings of this symposium to his memory. Munich was the fifth in a traditional line of international meetings of pharmaceutical physicians held at three-year intervals, starting in London in 1972 ('International Aspects of Drug Evaluation and Usage'), and followed by Florence in 1975 (,Rationality of Drug Development'), Brussels in 1978 (,Pharmaceutical Medicine - the Future') and Paris in 1981 ('Drug Safety -;- Progress and Controversies'). This 5th meeting discussed improvements in drug development and application and examined the impact of regulatory activities.

Offers specific and practical techniques and direction for workers in nearly every social work setting. While the group settings are as varied as the needs and difficulties of the people in the group, certain fundamental approaches and principles remain constant. Brandler and Roman offer many theoretical frameworks and intense examinations of the of the application of theory to real practice with actual examples from group settings. This book examines developmental stages in individual treatment. In each phase of treatment, issues are discussed as they relate to members and to workers, emphasizing the means by which workers can successfully intervene with particular populations in order to accomplish the goals of the group. Potential questions of social workers are addressed, such as how to analyze thoughts anbd feelings about the group, how to help the group understand itself and its members, and even how to best arrange the furniture. Chapters also deal with special areas including the therapeutic use of program, an activity resource section, group planning, co-therapy, and problems arising from the unusual structures and difficult populations.
