Abstract
This paper reviews the potential use of computers, especially microcomputers, in social work practice and social work education. Apart from the more obvious and familiar utilities in the management and administration of social welfare agencies and services, possibilities are emerging in regard to case management, diagnosis and assessment, and even treatment. The great bottleneck is no longer expensive hardware but rather the development of usable and relevant software and courseware.Keywords
