Bemerkungen

Umschlag berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - In Systems of Social Regulation, Professor Elaine Cumming describes attitudes of patients and clients to our health and welfare organizations. The focus of the book is on the complex relationships among regulative agents as these are revealed by the movement of clients around the system. The author observes how doctors, clergymen, policemen, welfare officers, psychiatrists, social workers, and other social agents relate to one another and to their clients and charges. Professor Cumming selected Syracuse, New York, typical of many middle-sized American cities, for her field studies. These involved several agencies and many thousands of individuals, resulting in a thoughtful analysis that can readily be applied to many aspects of the entire social system. Who are the clients? What are their problems? How do agents respond to them? These are some of the topics dealt with at length. From the viewpoint of the agents, Elaine Cumming discusses how they see their own roles in the over-all regulative system; how areas of operation interact and overlap; how the network of agencies has changed within a span of five years; what major problems still have to be overcome; and what changes could and should be made.
