Need and Care is based on the findings from the project "History of Social Work in Eastern Europe 1900-1960". This collection is directed at teaching social work and history of social work in an international context. The book contains 16 articles about the national histories of social work in Bulgaria, Croatia, Latvia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, and Slovenia. It deals with problems and important aspects of historical and comparative research in general and offers contributions on four major topics: biographical sketches of social work pioneers in Eastern Europe, fields of social work, the impact of social politics and social movements, and the question of professionalisation.
