Field Placements in For-Profit Organizations: Policies and Practices of Graduate Programs.

Hancock, Tina U.

Journal of Social Work Education, v28 n3 p330-40 Fall 1992

Geographic location appears to be linked to policy on such placements. More attention to site selection and curriculum are recommended as this trend grows. (MSE)
