The displaced person and the social agency : a study of the casework process in its relation to immigrant adjustment.

"The book is one of a continuing series of studies in social research sponsored by United Hias Service in cooperation with one of its affiliated agencies. Because of a conviction that social service can continue to be vital only so long as research lends increasing refinement to its knowledge and techniques, United Hias Service, Inc., has accepted the responsibility of encouraging and sponsoring such works in every community where immigrants receive the benefit of social service guidance. The Displaced Person and the Social Agency, a casework study of immigrant adjustment, is recommended as a work within this continuing program. It is concerned with the role of the agency in affecting the direction of immigrant adjustment, a field of inquiry in which it is hoped additional studies will be undertaken." [from book]
