"This book, a set of essays from a national and regional perspective, realizes its purpose in a timely way. . . .It is timely, but this timeliness has its virtues other than journalistic immediacy. It offers the opportunity for those at the beginning of an historical process to pause, if only momentarily, to collect their first impression."

This book outlines the development of social work, social work education and social welfare services in those newly liberated countries where previously the state had assumed responsibility for the direction and protection of society. Reports assembled here from Romania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Hungary, Lithuania, and the Russian Republic outline the magnitude of the task of establishing social safety nets in these countries facing a new market economy.
