ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I should like to acknowledge the contribution made by many social workers between 1983 and 1987 during which time the ideas developed in this thesis took root and grew.
In particular I am grateful to Professor Ian Shirley and Dr Chris Wilkes who supervised the formulation of the thesis and whose classes I attended in social policy. I am grateful to Ian Shirley and Dr John Pratt for being my supervisors. Their critical comments, encourage- ment and support has been appreciated.
Finally I thank my wife Jill, and family, for their patience and under- standing while in spare time I was preoccupi~d with this thesis.
