Artikel ini membahas tentang pentingnya faktor lingkungan dalam mendukung Sistem Usaha Kesejahteraan Sosial. Selama ini, praktik usaha kesejahteraan sosial masih dalam kerangka baku, yang hanya menggunakan pendekatan case work, group work, community organization dan community development. Sekarang telah disadari oleh para pakar kesejahteraan sosial dan pekerjaan sosial bahwa masalah kesejahteraan sosial juga berasal dari degradasi lingkungan.Agar dapat berperan aktif dan positif ahli kesejahteraan sosial dan pekerja sosial dalam melakukan intervensi komunitas, maka perlu menambah pengetahuannya tentang ekologi dan lingkungan agar mampu melakukan intervensi dengan baik. Metode intervensi ini berbasis lingkungan, sehingga dalam mengatasi masalah sosial pekerja sosial bisa melakukan pembelaan terhadap korban kerusakan lingkungan dan mampu berperan aktif dalam memberikan kesadaran masyarakat tentang pentingnya unsure lingkungan sebagai bagian hidup manusia.Dengan perkembangan ini, pekerja sosial dan ahli di bidang kesejahteraan sosial harus memperlajari ilmu-ilmu terkait lingkungan agar mampu melakukan praktik pekerjaan sosialnya dengan baik. Model pekerja sosial demikian dapat disebut sebagai ‘pekerja sosial hijau’ atau ‘green social worker’.

In 1939, Community Chests and Councils, Inc., published a pamphlet in its series on community planning, “giving tested procedures for determining the extent of social breakdown in the community, and outlining a detailed plan for better co-ordinated service to social breakdown families.” Because of the significance of the procedure and plan to social case work and requests from our readers for some discussion of it, the Editorial Advisory Committee of The Family planned a symposium from the point of view of case work, community organization, research, sociology, and psychiatry. Bradley Buell, of Community Chests and Councils, was invited to discuss the background of the plan. We shall be glad to receive other brief discussions for the Readers' Forum.

Oxford Bibliographies in Social Work includes three articles describing the scholarly writings of a select group of deceased social workers who have been especially prominent and influential in the profession within the United States. These individuals are referred to social work luminaries. These three bibliographical articles can be used to identify the publications of prominent individuals who have been most influential in the development of social work; these individuals are identified by first reviewing the biographies of significant social workers from the Encyclopedia of Social Work and obituaries collected by the Council on Social Work Education since the publication of the Encyclopedia of Social Work. From this list come the biographical material and publications, with the most prominent luminaries for each of the three articles. For each luminary is provided a brief biographical overview and one to five annotated citations of their most important publications. Respectively, the three articles describe the publications of luminaries: (1) who were involved in the founding and creation of the social work profession in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries; (2) who, subsequently, contributed to the clarification and elaboration of social work practice and theory; and (3) who contributed to social work theory and scholarship in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. This article presents the luminaries who wrote primarily between the 1920s and 1960s. They were aware of the pioneer work of other luminaries who created the profession of social work and began the process of creating its theoretical, ethical, and historical foundations. During these four decades, these luminaries added to the theoretical foundation of social work while also leading the expansion of social work into many new areas. This resulted in scholarship related to different sizes of service systems (individuals, groups, families, communities); new settings for social work; and the evolution of university-based education and training for social workers. During this period, luminaries fell into several categories in terms of their contributions to the evolution of social work scholarship. One category was the development of each of the social work methods as now conceived. These consisted then of Casework (e.g., Interviewing: Its Principles and Methods, Theory and Practice of Social Casework, Social Casework: A Problem-Solving Process, A Functional Approach to Family Casework, and Common Human Needs [i.e., individual work]); Group Work (e.g., Group Work with American Youth: A Guide to the Practice of Leadership, Essentials of Social Group Skill, and Social Group Work Practice: The Creative Use of Social Process); and Community Organization (e.g., Community Organization for Social Welfare, Community Action against Poverty: Readings from the Mobilization Experience, Community Organization and Social Planning, and An Overview of the Community Organization Curriculum Development Project and Its Recommendations). A second category is the adaptation of social work for different fields of service—notably rehabilitation, health, mental health, corrections, and child welfare. Some luminaries during that time were devoting themselves to developing methods for social work research and the advancement of social work theory. Other luminaries focused on considering social work approaches to Policy development. Finally, some luminaries at that time were thinking of applications for different ethnic groups, primarily Jewish and African Americans. The following is a presentation of luminaries under these categories and some of their major scholarly publications.

AbstractThis chapter presents the histories of sociometry, psychodrama, and group psychotherapy while also outlining the history of Jacob L. Moreno, their founder. Major events from Moreno’s life are covered as they relate to the development of his philosophy and the practice of his triadic system, sociometry, psychodrama, and group psychotherapy. The popularity and decline of Moreno’s methods throughout their history are highlighted while offering insights into these historical trends in the USA and globally. Connections are drawn between Moreno’s history and the history of social work while also framing him as a social worker due to the nature of his philosophy, theory, and practice. A comprehensive timeline is offered which depicts the parallel timelines of psychodrama, social work, group therapy, psychology, and society.
