In 1950, the School of Social Work hired Professor Alfred Kadushin. His works – Child Welfare Services, The Social Work Interview, Supervision in Social Work, and Consultation in Social Work – continue to be the standard for social work education throughout the world.
Kadushin retired in 1986 and continued to stay intellectually engaged until his passing in February 2014. In 2013, he published the fifth edition of The Social Work Interview and wrote the fifth edition of Supervision in Social Work, which was released March 2014.
