The Multi-Problem Family

This annotated bibliography of 322 items represents the first attempt to gather under one cover the information at present available about the multi-problem family, and the efforts that are being made in six countries around the world to meet one of the most difficult and challenging social problems of Western urban society.

Benjamin Schlesinger is Professor Emeritus in the Faculty of Social Work at the University of Toronto. He has previously published 22 academic books.

‘This review of the literature and of the projects on the multi-problem family will be welcomed by both the practitioner and the research worker in welfare and associated fields. It contains brief notes on some 300 books, articles, and research and demonstration projects from a number of western countries, and also two special essays by well-known authorities who have been involved in research projects on multi-problem families.’
