History of Social Work
Dissatisfied with social work focusing too much on individuals and not addressing the social causes of distress, a number of practitioners launched Case Con, which described itself as a revolutionary magazine for social workers. The first issue appeared in 1970 and stopped being published in 1977 after 25 issues. The title Case Con referred to case conferences but also to the con, the dishonest trick, of reducing structural social problems to individual client`s own responsibility
