Abstract

A strategic use of modified ethnography by Human Service field placement students' functions to raise the students' awareness regarding the existence, as well as characteristics and purposes of values and value systems in Human Services Organizations. The advent and growth of thousands of Human Service agencies in every community in the U.S., in conjunction with the paraprofessional movement in the sixties, has necessitated the parallel development of a corresponding career ladder. Field placements or internships have evolved as an integral part of education for individuals entering the Human Services field. Their philosophical and pragmatic development has been influenced in all phases by individuals from a multitude of disciplines. Social anthropologists have a great deal to offer the Human Services field and, in this instance, input into a rational protocol for a field placement regimen.
