JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis paper intend to appear the theoretical flame of establishing a historical study in the social welfare. Generally, a historical analysis is essencial in the social sciences. The system and function of the present society are the present issues and simultaneously are conclusions of the past. Therefore, whenever we try to analyse present issues scientifically, we must analyse them historically. So, we must study historically the social welfare which is an important product of the present society. In this paper, I will explain three points of the theoretical basis in the establishment of social welfare history. First I explain a method of social welfare history. Especially, I think much of the unity of the internal way and the external way on the historical analysis. This is natural for the historical analysis, but I am disappointed that this is not natural for the analysis of the social welfare. Secondly, I explain about the content of the social welfare history. In this point, I especially want you pay attention to the development of the social human rights. Thirdly, I explain on the steps of the development on the historical study of the social welfare. Social welfare are divided into the three steps. I theoretically arranged the point at issue in order to advance the historical study on the social welfare. It is natural that the historical study should is based on the historical materials. But the historical materials without theory is as if a ship went to sea without having a compass. Therefore, I propose to arrange the point at issue theoretically, because I think much of the historical materials.View full abstractDownload PDF (1722K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSConsidering the problems of home care for the bed-ridden elderly people and the elderly people with senile dementia, it is important to investigate which case in the whole community is most necessary to help by medical services and social welfare services. This article is a preliminary study of this subject, examining the 29 cases concerning suicide, " shinju " and murder of the family caring the elderly at home, occurring in the metroporitan circle from 1974 to 1986, because those cases seem to need to help by them. The major conclusions are summarized as follows: 1) The families of those cases were socialy isolated in the community, especially in the " young " area where the rate of 65 years old and older populations in the community is 9% and under. 2) Some of the cases that the aged family's member, for example seventy's or eighty's spouse, had cared the elderly at home, occurred a crisis of the familical domestic care immediately after beginning care. 3) In the cases that the elderly had been living with unmarried child, when the elderly's condition had took a sudden turn for the worse, the child had a trouble with unstable life circumstances. 4) Some of the cases occurred a crisis of the familical domestic care, when the family caring the elderly was illed. Therefore, at least the organization of the network between the medical fields and social welfare services in the community, aiming at early detection and early assistance for those cases, will be necessary.View full abstractDownload PDF (1143K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this paper is to discuss basic concepts of Elder's life course theory and examine the implications for social work practice. The life course theory provides us a frame of reference for understanding human life which is individually varied. The theorywas conceptulized based on findings from life-span developmental psychology and researches on the family life cycle. In these researches, a concept of life stages that all people progress in the same life course in one direction has been criticized. In contrast, the idea that individual life courses are diverse due to social stratification, events which individuals encounter in their life, and etc., is suggested. Three concepts of time, 1) life time, 2) social time, and 3) historical time, are explained as components of our life courses. The theory, then, precisely discriminates " generation " and " cohort", and also indicates things which should be examined for evaluating own historical events. Finally, our life courses are defined as the process of role transition due to growing older. According to the life course theory, human life is described in the context of his/her historical time. In other words, the theory adds a historical viewpoint to psychological and social viewpoints, and provides a broader concept to explain whole human life. The writer believes that this new concept is helpful for social workers to understand their clients and help them effectively.View full abstractDownload PDF (1221K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSUntil the 1960s, the state was the primary provider of care to mentally retarded in Minnesota. The number of mentally retarded persons in state institutions peaked at 5,800 in 1963. Since then, the state's role in serving mentally retarded persons has steadily changed. At the same time, Minnesota has invested significant resources to develop privately operated, community systems of residential care and training. The state has become a major purchaser of services. In the past 25 years, several forces have changed Minnesota's state institution programs for mentally retarded people. As in many other states, litigation has been one of the most important forces. In 1972, parents of Minnesota state institution residents successfully challenged the programs and care provided at the institution in a federal court suit. The case now known as Welsch V. Levine, has continued to this day. In 1980, the parties ended one phase of the case by agreeing to a consent decree. The state agreed to make program and staffing changes at the institution and to reduce the number of mentally retarded residents from 2,710 to 1,850 by 1987. The decree will expire on July 1, 1987 if the states is in substantial with its terms at that time. This paper was written with the purpose of providing readers with a understanding of the carrent stutus of services for mentally retarded people in state of Minnesota.View full abstractDownload PDF (1527K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIt is said that the adoption system in Japan has been for family or parents, not for child. Today the movement for the reformation of civil law takes place in order to establish the adoption system for child welfare. The attempt is making progress in the Diet, but I think the reform plan has some problems. For the purpose of making these problems clear we try to study the adoption law in England, which is said to have a regular system for child welfare, and compare it with the contents of the Japanese reform bill. The following is the characteristics of the English adoption system which were pointed from official agencies functional angele. 1) Only an adoption agency has a right to make arrangements for an adoption. The private placement is illegal from 15th February 1982. 2) All cases for adoption applications must be supervised by an adoption agency for the probationary period. 3) The court must appoint a guardian ad litem who represents the child at the hearing and has a general duty to safeguard the interests of the child before the court by rules of court. As compared with these English system, the reform bill of civil law is not adequate to child welfare, I think. Because the bill does not admit official agencies to have enough competence and functions to the arrangement and supervision for adoption application cases. Now, in order to develop the new frontier of child welfare the need for reforming the child welfare law itself is keenly felt in our country.View full abstractDownload PDF (1583K) -
