    We can distinguish two viewpoints about the practice as ideal types. The viewpoint A is of the personalization of practice; the experience as knowledge source, the personality as main attribute of practitioner, and the skill as behaving mechanism. The viewpoint B is of the depersonalization of practice; the theoretical knowledge as knowledge source, the qualification as main attribute of practitioner, and the technique as behaving mechanism. These superficially opposing viewpoints need to be integrated or structured in terms of the competence-performance perspective in linguistics. In this article, by using of Popper's idea of the third world in "objective knowledge", Polany's idea of the tacit knowledge, Mauss' idea of the habitus, Bourdieu's idea of pratique, Ikuta's idea of " waza ", and Goldstein's idea of three variables in the style of social worker, we offerd the scheme of practice as following; (a) the competence is transformed into the performance through the medium of habitus, (b) the practice is transformed into habitus, and (c) the habitus is transformed into the instrumental form for the practice.

    This article is a proposal for the full cooperation of the profession of "psychology" and "social welfare" for the handicapped person through the mediation of philosophy and methodology of "behavior analysis. " From the standpoint of "radical behaviorism," which is the philosophy of "behavior analysis" founded by B.F. Skinner, every term or concept on handicapped person is a description of the interaction between individual and environment. Any behavioral service for those people, therefore, is a "adjustment" between individuals and their environments. In this context, if necessary, we must change their environments including the social systems. Behavioral approach, however, has been regarded as a procedure which changes only the client in the field of social casework. The reason of the misconception might be derived both from outside and inside of the framework of behavioral approach itself. For the full cooperation of behavior analyst and social caseworker, some new directions of method of "behavioral social casework" were discussed.

    Recently we need to establish more effective protection statute for neglected or abused children, who are increasing in Japan. I think the English child care law offers us many suggestion as regards that task. The English child care law consists of the following four parts; (1) Voluntary care It provides a simple means of ensuring the short-term care of children in temporary difficulties. (2) Assuming parental rights When his welfare requires constructive long-term planning, and/or for the time being it would not be in his best interests to reunite him with his parents, it is worth considering whether a resolution could be made. It is important that resolution is made by a local authority, not a juvenile court. (3) Care proceedings under the GYPA 1969 It provides for the committal of a child or young person to the care ofa local authority by ajuvenile court order. It has the principle that state intervenstion against the wishes of the juvenile concerned and/or his parents can only be justified on specific grounds of neglect or misbehavior, and not soley in the interests of the juveniles welfare. (4) Place of safety provisions Where in an emergency it is felt that a child is in urgent need of protection and the situation is one in which it would be inadvisable to wait for the deliberations of courts or committees, it provedes for a quick and convenient method. We can take three suggestions from this consideration. (A) We should make parental rights, children's rights, and state intervention guideline more clearly defined. Then, these three elements are balanced reasonably from child best interests point of view. (B) The assuming parental rights provision should be practically built in child care statute. (C) We must not forget children to have civil rights. Their feelings, opinions should be esteemed and representative system should be taken consideration in care proceedings.

    In Japan, social welfare was expanding in 70's. In 80's, some programs are expanding, but other programs are reducing. Main programs are for the elderly. Social welfare programs are not only for low income people, in 80's. The reason of the change is that the population of the elderly increased in 10 years. The elderlys in 80's have some good terms in their retirement life. They have money in the bank. They have their house. And they have pensions. So, the elderly are not poor now. Especially, the pensions for the elderly are main income. The most of the elderly do not need public assistance. But the life style of the elderly has been changed. They live in the elder family. When they have some physical handicap, they need home help and some aids. Social welfare programs must be prepared to the needs of the elderly (they have middle class).
