The Place of Social Work in a Tuberculosis Hospital

ALLAN HURST M.D., F.C.C.P.1; HAROLD NITZBERG M.S.1; and MARTIA HEMPEL M.S.W1

1 The National Jewish Hospital at Denver and the School of Social Work of the University of Denver.

1) The medical profession has never been able to completely accept social work. It has been able to see social case work only in the manipulative sense but never in the sphere of therapy.

2) The place of social work in a tuberculosis hospital is carefully detailed beginning with its place in the acceptance of the diagnosis, proceeding to hospital admission, and continuing throughout the hospital stay and through vocational rehabilitation and discharge.

3) The patient presents problems at each stage of his hospital stay, and with each must have the help of an understanding hospital staff and especially the social service department.

4) A case is presented to demonstrate the many problems involved and the functioning of the social case worker in the situations presented.
