The Florence Lieberman Collection: Reflections from a Visionary Social Worker

by Florence Lieberman

Florence Lieberman was an outstanding social work practitioner, teacher, advocate, and author who passed away in May, 2011. Among other accolades, Dr. Lieberman was President of the International Committee on the Advancement of Private Practice; founder of the Child and Adolescent Social Work journal, and part of the core group that developed the Society for Clinical Social Work. This collection was created in recognition of the many contributions Dr. Lieberman made to social work and with the hopes that her writings will not be lost. Out of a large body of work, the editors chose those pieces which best demonstrate her fierce intelligence, passionate commitment to clients, and unflagging dedication to improving the social work profession. As will be immediately obvious in trenchant, witty and insightful pieces such as "The Pathological Therapist," "The Repulsive Client," and "The Substance and Politics of Clinical Social Work," Dr. Lieberman's prescient insights are still relevant to social work students, professors, and practitioners today.
