Travels in the Trench Between Child Welfare Theory and Practice A Case Study of Failed Promises and Prospects for Renewal

Travels in the Trench Between Child Welfare Theory and Practice examines how the child welfare field's rush to establish credibility and permanence through program growth during the post World War II era gave rise to a massive but fragile conglomerate unprepared to prove its merits when challenged by an increasingly dubious public. Author George Thomas proposes a broad-based shift from program growth to knowledge-based growth in policy, management, education, research, and information technology initiatives to revitalize performance and restore public confidence in the system.Thomas, George is the author of 'Travels in the Trench Between Child Welfare Theory and Practice A Case Study of Failed Promises and Prospects for Renewal', published 1994 under ISBN 9781560246916 and ISBN 156024691X.
