   Assistance Program: A Record of the American Retort to Necessity

   allows students to put current issues of social concern in their historic contexts. It examines the complete history of assistance program from the 18^th century to the present, while exploring the ideas―as well as the economic and political forces―which have shaped policy development. Utilizing numerous original documents to present a clearer picture of historical periods, the authors show how social conditions, ideas about dependency and poverty, and institutions have shaped social policy and the efforts of voluntary organizations and individuals who work with at-risk populations.

   This guide is part of the Connecting Core Competencies Collection, which helps students understand and master CSWE’s core competencies with a range of learning aids that highlight competency content and critical-thinking questions for the competencies.
