Psychiatric Social Work in Britain, 1929-1950
| Psychiatric social work emerged as a distinctive profession in Britain from the mid-1920s, not least through its association with child guidance. It appeared to have consolidated its position with the creation of the post-war welfare state, again in large part from the emphasis placed by the new welfare state on the mental health of children. However from the outset psychiatric social work was, despite its apparent self-confidence, ridden with tensions and contradictions. Training in psychiatry, for example, was constrained by the nature of social work education, while other social workers came to resent the self-ascribed higher status of their psychiatric social work colleagues. This paper examnines these tensions and contradictions, and the light they shed on a classically 'insecure' professsion.
