Broken Homes: A Study of Family Desertion and its Social Treatment

No less thoughtful a critic of men and manners than Joseph Conrad has remarked recently that a universal experience "is exactly the sort of thing which is most difficult to appraise justly in the individual instance." The saying might have been made the motto of this book, for in its pages Miss Colcordwith all the eagerness of the newer school of social workers, bent upon understanding, upon making allowancesseeks that just appraisal to which Conrad refers. Marital infelicities and broken homes are not universal, fortunately, but some of the human weaknesses which lead to them are very nearly so. To one who brings a long perspective to any theme in social work, Broken Homes suggests the successive stages through which the art of social case work has progressed.

One good woman, whose husband had left her for the second time more than a year ago, declared often and emphatically that she would never let him come back. We rescued her furniture from the landlord, found her work, furnished needed relief, and befriended the children; but the drunken and lazy husband returned the other day, and is sitting in the chairs we rescued, while he warms his hands at the fire that we have kept burning." ......Buy Now (To Read More)
