Summary: "A Definition of Social Work: A Thesis in Sociology" by Alice S. Cheyney is a scholarly publication written in the early 20th century. This thesis focuses on the need for a clear and cohesive definition of social work, illustrating its evolution from charitable traditions to a profession grounded in scientific principles. The work delves into the complexities and diverse functions within the field, addressing issues of identity and purpose among social workers. The opening of the thesis establishes the foundational aim of articulating a definition of social work amidst its ambiguous and often overlapping interpretations. Cheyney discusses the difficulties practitioners face when asked to define their field and the importance of developing a coherent understanding to foster effective communication and expectations. She highlights the historical development of social work and its relationship to charity while emphasizing the urgency of defining its principles, responsibilities, and methodologies, ultimately arguing that social work encompasses voluntary efforts aimed at addressing social relationships and fulfilling societal needs through systematic approaches.
