IX
FAMILY CASE WORK
The discussion up to this point has dealt with the family which has
not fallen into distress. It has been confined to problems of
adjustment. But there are numerous families which fall into distress
and need the services of the social case-work agency. Because of
limitations of space and because the principles applying to their care
and treatment apply to other kinds of service, the following
discussion will treat only of agencies concerned with the care of
immigrant families in need of material aid. Of the 8,529 families
cared for by the Cook County agent, 6,226 were from the foreign
groups, and of the 569 under care by the Cook County Juvenile Court in
its Funds to Parents' Department, 386 were foreign born.[72]
Attention is called, however, to the fact that the special application
to the care of foreign-born families of the principles supposed to
guide the conduct of good agencies in their care of any family calls
for the elaboration of much more skillful devices and for much more
extensive and closely knit organization than has yet been developed.
This chapter deals only with these special applications of general
case-work principles.
The principles of care in any case of need are: (1) That such care
shall be based on adequate understanding of the immediate individual
problem; (2) that it shall be adapted to the special need; (3) that it
shall look toward the restoration of the family to its normal status;
and (4) that treatment, whether in the form of relief or service,
shall be accompanied by friendly and educational supervision and
co-operation.
