Abstract

The evolution of occupational social work from its beginnings in welfare capitalism, through the human relations movement in the 1930s and 1940s, and into the occupational alcoholism programs and employee assistance programs of the last decade is surveyed. The article offers a broad definition of occupational social work and justifies that definition on the basis of a systemic view of the modern U.S. workplace, which is buffeted by dynamic forces.
