Alternative Social Agencies (Administrative Strategies)

This comprehensive volume will help all of those involved in social administration to question their own administrative practices and struggle with new approaches that can best meet the needs of their present and/or potential constituencies. Using a diverse set of successful alternative programs as case examples, professionals who have been involved directly in the organization and development of alternative social programs explain the complicated process of planning and implementing new agencies. Topics include various direct services in voluntary health-related organizations and agencies; public sector agencies that are not usually associated with alternative programs; and descriptions of effective indirect service.
