Mary Richmond’s ‘Social Diagnosis’ can be considered as the first book of :

  • A.Social group work
  • B.Social and preventive medicine
  • C.Social case work
  • D.Community organisation

Answer: C

It is the first book of social case work.

Mary Richmond published Social Diagnosis in 1917. Drawing on her work with the Charity Organization Society, it set out a systematic method of gathering evidence about an individual or family and their situation, making a diagnosis, and planning help. It is regarded as the first textbook of social casework and of professional social work method.

Social group work and community organisation developed as methods later and had their own early texts. Social and preventive medicine is a branch of medicine, not a social work method.
