Charlotte Towle (1896-1966) was born and raised in Butte, Montana. She received a BA in education from Goucher College (1919), but after graduation accepted a job with the American Red Cross which strengthened her interest in social work. With the aid of a Commonwealth Fund fellowship, she attended the New York School of Social Work, completing her studies in psychiatric social work in 1926. For two years she was director of the Home Finding Department of The Children's Aid Society of Philadelphia, and from 1928 to 1932 she gained experience in casework supervision and further training in psychiatric social work at the Institute for Child Guidance in New York. Established by the Commonwealth Fund as a model clinic, the Institute was in the forefront of psychiatric social work theory and practice. Towle served as the Institute's fieldwork supervisor for students from the New York and Smith College schools of social work.
In 1932 Towle accepted an appointment to the faculty of the School of Social Service Administration (SSA) at the University of Chicago. Because of its origins in the settlement movement, SSA's curriculum was oriented toward social welfare policy and administration. Edith Abbott, Dean from 1924 to 1942, had initially resisted the trend in the profession toward an emphasis on a psychiatric model in casework. However, when the Commonwealth Fund offered student stipends to SSA contingent on the introduction of psychiatric casework courses into the curriculum and the development of psychiatric field placements, Abbott invited Towle to join the faculty in order to strengthen its psychiatric emphasis.
In the 1930's the casework curriculum in most schools of social work consisted of one introductory course, often referred to as "generic," and many specialized courses. Consequently, the application of psychological knowledge was regarded as the nearly exclusive domain of psychiatric social work. Towle, convinced that all caseworkers needed knowledge about human behavior as well as access to a broad spectrum of treatment approaches, utilized case material from all fields of practice in her casework courses. She emphasized the consideration of multiple social and psychological factors in diagnosis and a range of treatment approaches as generic for all caseworkers (8:13-15, 9:1-11, 13-16, and 10:1-3). In 1941 Towle edited a collection of Social Case Records from Psychiatric Clinics with Discussion Notes as a volume in the Social Service Series published by SSA (4:5). Through widespread classroom use of this book and through her work on the curriculum committees of the American Association of Schools of Social Work and the American Association of Psychiatric Social Workers, she helped define a generic casework curriculum for most schools (2:10-13, 3:3, and 8:10).
Not only did Towle's psychiatric orientation affect the SSA curriculum, but she herself was influenced by the broad social concerns and activities of colleagues such as Grace and Edith Abbott and Sophonisba Breckinridge. For example, Towle became interested in the philosophy of social work. In a 1945 book, Common Human Needs, she sketched for public assistance workers the link between understanding human behavior and administering social welfare programs: psychological needs and forces, she argued, were related to social forces and experience (11:1-4). The book was enthusiastically received (1:3-8) and was eventually translated into eight languages (Box 13).
Ironically, Towle's book received its widest publicity in 1951 through what came to be called "The Common Human Needs Affair". The incident began when the president of the American Medical Association noted Towle's statement, "Social security and public assistance programs are a basic essential for attainment of the socialized state envisaged in a democratic ideology, a way of life which so far has been realized only in slight measure." (p. 57) Taking the sentence out of context, he construed "socialized state" as political propaganda and accused the administrator of the Federal Security Agency, which had published the book, of promoting socialist attitudes. As a result, the administrator, Oscar Ewing, ordered the Government Printing Office to destroy all of its remaining copies. The social work profession as well as civil libertarians rallied around Towle (1:11-16), but Ewing did not rescind his order. Consequently, the National Association of Social Workers republished the work and it received wide circulation.
A third focus of Towle's intellectual interest was her effort to synthesize theories of education and of personality to develop a more comprehensive approach to professional education in social work as well as in other professions. Her courses in Growth and Development of Personality (6:18-20, 7:1-14, and 8:1-7) and Dynamics of Learning and Teaching (5:7-10 and 6:1-6) reflected this interest, as did many of her papers and articles. She summarized her theories in a 1954 book, The Learner in Education for the Professions (3:10-12).
Towle's leadership in generic casework theory and in casework education resulted in an invitation to spend 1954-55 as a senior Fulbright scholar at the London School of Economics, acting as educational consultant in its Applied Social Sciences sequence and helping English casework teachers to develop case materials. When her passport was temporarily withheld on suspicion of "communist" leanings (holding membership in two alleged front organizations and having signed a clemency petition for the Rosenbergs were adduced as evidence), she again became a cause célèbre in her profession and beyond (3:2). Her reputation cleared, she finally obtained a passport and spent a productive year in London (3:1, 12:1, and 12:7).
During the later years of her career, Charlotte Towle's national stature as a social work theorist and practitioner was acknowledged as she received several honorary doctorates as well as citations from professional organizations. Towle retired from the SSA faculty in 1964, but continued part time work for two years as a fieldwork supervisor for SSA students. She had just retired from this position at the time of her
death.
The Charlotte Towle Papers have been divided into five series according to content and type of record:
Series I: CORRESPONDENCE
Towle's correspondence is organized topically, maintaining as closely as practicable her own arrangement of the material. With the exception of a selection of personal letters from colleagues (1933-1965) which Towle labeled "Cherished Letters" (4:2), all of the correspondence is professional in nature. In some cases Towle left notes to indicate that the materials in a folder were what she regarded as a representative sample of more voluminous correspondence which she had chosen not to preserve. An example is the topic "Consultations, 1935-1966" (2:2-8), which includes Towle's responses to inquiries on a range of subjects: clients' rights, the placement of foster children, the effect of war on children, and the emotional element in learning, to name several examples.
Other aspects of Towle's professional activity which are particularly strongly represented in her correspondence include the publication of her books and responses to them (1:3-10, 3:10-12, and 4:5), especially the "Common Human Needs Affair" (1:11-16), and her role in curriculum development (2:10-13, 3:3, and 3:5).
Series II: COURSE FILES AND RELATED TEACHING MATERIALS
This series includes Towle's lecture notes and mimeographed materials (primarily case materials and bibliographies) for her courses at SSA as well as for workshops and supervision institutes conducted elsewhere. It also includes a number of topical files of materials which she used in teaching. Here, as elsewhere, the attempt has been to preserve as much as possible Towle's arrangement of the material.
Series III: RESEARCH NOTES AND MANUSCRIPTS
This series consists of notes, drafts, and completed manuscripts of various papers, both published and unpublished. Towle was in great demand as a speaker, not only at professional conferences, but at schools of social work, social welfare agencies, and parent-teacher organizations. A large number of unpublished manuscripts (11:13-19) remain in the order in which Towle placed and numbered them, although her organizing principle is not readily apparent, being neither chronological, topical, or alphabetical.
In 1961 Towle considered the possibility of publishing a collection of her papers, including some of those previously unpublished. Although she did not proceed with the project, she did make an outline and some preliminary notes which are preserved here (12:2).
The manuscript of Common Human Needs (11:1-4) is also a part of this series.
Series IV: ARTICLES AND BOOKS
This series comprises offprint of Towle's articles (12:15-18 and 13:1-7) as well as the original edition and the foreign language editions of Common Human Needs (Box 13). The offprint have been arranged chronologically and were numbered by Mary Rall to correspond to their position in the Towle bibliography published on the occasion of the dedication of the Towle Memorial Library at the Spencer-Chapin Adoption Service, New York (12:13).
Series V: MISCELLANEOUS
This series contains a variety of materials, among them the honorary degrees which Charlotte Towle received and clippings and memorabilia related to them (Box 14). It also includes autobiographical notes and statements (13:8) as well as Towle's responses to requests for biographical information and a number of biographical sketches written about her (13:9 and 14:2). Finally, materials related to Towle's death are a part of this series: letters and resolutions of condolence (14:1), memorial services (14:4), a memorial symposium and lecture series (14:5), and the tape of a memorial radio program by Studs Terkel (14:7).
Series VI: Addenda
Included in this series are papers and correspondence related to the SSA faculty, offprints and photocopies from the dissertation about Towle written by Wendy Posner.
