Abstract
tion between occupation and disease were in operation before the first formal medical social work program curriculum was developed. Field work was the only training in medical social work that was available. Not until 1919 was the Social Service Department integrated into Massachusetts General Hospital financially and administratively. The second half of the book provides a comprehensive picture of medical social work today, with papers evaluating the profession's role in teaching medical students the social aspects of illness, emphasizing the need for social research in a medical setting, and a review of the factors involved in educating a professional social worker. This book makes interesting reading and good to have as a reference. SYLVIA UTENSKY
