Milford Conference?

Question

Can someone explain to me what the milfords conference did in 1928? to help social workers? and what exatcly it was.

Answer 1

The Milford Conference convened in 1928 to discuss whether social work was a disparate group of technical specialties or a unified profession with integrated knowledge and skills.

The conclusion was that social work is one profession with more similarities than differences among its specialties.

In 1929, the report of the conference was published as Social Case Work: Generic and Specific (New York: American Association of Social Workers).
