13 Int'l Soc. Work 1 (1970)

handle is hein.journals/intsocwk13 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITORIAL A FTER the major theoretical articles of recent issues, this number of Inter- national Social Work is mainly factual in content. Debre and Crapuchet, in a mas- terly survey, remind us of the grinding poverty in which the majority of children struggle for survival in the many hungry countries of Asia, Africa and South America. Mildred Pratt sets against this sombre background the energetic initiatives of four African countries in launch- ing programmes of developmental social wel- fare which canalise the energies of such politically active groups as the womenfolk and the young unemployed in ways which simultaneously produce an increase of social capital and provide training in responsible citizenship for the participants. A French observer, writes with warmth and enthusiasm of the quality of government in Thailand and particularly of its economic and educational progress and its programmes of community development. From India we get another essay in self-criticism, concerned this time with the state of Indian psychiatry, and the in- difference of the psychiatric profession to the potential contribution of the professional social worker. The only essay in general theory is the article in which Eugen Pusic reviews an important new work by Donald Howard, who is so well known to our readers for his service to this journal as review editor. Before they receive this issue, the members of the International Association of Schools of Social Work will have been notified by the Board of their Association that International Social Work is no longer to be supplied as part of the benefits of membership, but will be obtainable only in exchange for a sepa- rate subscription. At the same time the Inter- national Council on Social Welfare has inau- gurated an excellent newsletter, which will henceforward carry most of the news items for which this journal has till now provided space. Both these changes of policy help to clarify the status of International Social Work as a professional journal which must compete fairly and squarely with others of its kind, depending for support partly on its professional and literary quality and partly on its international character. We hope our readers will stay with us as subscribers, and will help to increase our circulation by re- commending us to their friends. We also hope that they will support us as contributors, and will thus help us to maintain our quality. Elizabeth E. Irvine Apology We greatly regret that the appropriate acknowledgements were not made in the previous issue in relation to the article by Jan de Jongh - On Western Social Work and the Afro-Asian World. This was republished from the Social Service Review Vol. 43. No. 1 by kind permission of the Editor of the University of Chicago Press, and is copyright (1969) by the University of Chicago.
