Synopsis

This is an exploration of the technologies currently being introduced into the area of human services. The strengths and limitations of these new technologies are analyzed and particular attention given to the way in which computer technology can redefine which social services are delivered to clients, and the way in which they are delivered. Suggestions and strategies are presented that will help administrators and agency personnel introduce computer technology in the agency setting without disrupting organization and service delivery. Emerging trends in computer technology are covered with a detailed analysis of the impact of these new technologies on human services delivery.
