The third number of the official organ of the Association of Psychiatric Social Workers, published |n November, 1949, contains some extremely mteresting and well-written articles by members of the Association. The subject matter is varied and covers a field as widely separated as the work of the j^uly Authorized Officer and the responsibility of the Psychiatric Social Worker in helping the client to Ittake full use of his religion. Of particular interest ‘s the article on ” Home and Career : Woman between two Worlds ” which is the result of an investigation made by the Parents’ Group of the Association, into the problem of the married woman with a professional career. Their generosity in allowing themselves to be used as guinea-pigs will be appreciated by those who are anxious to find a Workable solution to this problem.

Apart from a note on the Second Assembly of the World Federation for Mental Health and one on the Child Guidance Exhibition given by Hill End Clinic in 1947, no space has yet been allotted for news on or book reviews. It is to be hoped that if and when the Journal is published more than once a year, these will be added. C.H.S.
