Arthur Dunham Provides a “Birds-Eye View” of Councils of Social Agencies in 1929

Children's Bureau Publication The Attorney's Part in Adoption, Children's Bureau Folder No. 47, is the third in the series of folders on adoption recently issued by the Children's Bureau. It deals with the part the attorney plays in the adoptive process. Fourteen attorneys, some engaged in the private practice of law, others faculty members in law schools and still others representatives of public or voluntary social agencies, met in Washington in May, 1958 to discuss the role of the attorney in adoption. Particular consideration was given to the legal aspects of adoption in relation to the natural parents, the child and to the adoptive parents. This leaflet is based on the principles discussed in this meeting. Copies are available from the Superintendent of Documents for 10 cents each with the usual discount of 25% on lots of 100 or more sent to one address.

A good deal of literature on child abuse has accumulated since Kempe and his group first described the "Battered Child Syndrome."1 Enlightened laws have been passed in the various states and management transferred from the police into the hands of social agencies. Furthermore, the reporting physician was protected from libel. However, at the grass root level, conditions are far from ideal. Physicians are unfamiliar with the various laws and are reluctant to report for fear of getting involved in unpleasant situations.

SummaryIn the past couple of years, Dinkmeyer and McKay's (1976) Systematic Training for Effective Parenting (STEP) has become very popular in Australia. It is currently being used in public schools, Department of Children Services and other social agencies. As the use of STEP increases, it seems appropriate for STEP users to share their ideas in order to promote a better understanding of the programme. In this paper, the author(i) describes his early experiences with parent education;(ii) identifies the theoretical origins of step, and(iii) describes some guidelines for a STEP leader.
