ISSN = 0037-7961Founded in 1927, [http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/SSR/home.html "Social Service Review"] is devoted to the publication of thought-provoking, original research on social welfare policy, organization, and practice. Articles in the "Review" analyze issues from the points of view of various disciplines, theories, and methodological traditions, view critical problems in context, and carefully consider long-range solutions.

The "Review" features balanced, scholarly contributions from social work and social welfare scholars, as well as from members of the various allied disciplines engaged in research on human behavior, social systems, history, public policy, and social services. The journal welcomes contributions on a wide range of topics, such as child welfare, poverty, homelessness, community intervention, race and ethnicity, clinical practice, and mental health. The "Review" also features discerning essays and substantive, critical book reviews.

"Social Service Review" is edited by Michael R. Sosin and the faculty of The School of Social Service Administration at the University of Chicago.
