ABSTRACT
A social revolution, whether small or big, seems to be composed, as the term has come to be used, of rather diverse elements which have little integral relationship with each other but are nonetheless necessary in combination to precipitate social revolution for the better. The social imagination and inventiveness is the true function of voluntary organizations. The shape of things to come is of course vitally related to the question of personnel. It is of little use to be able to point to fruitful research findings or a coherent body of theory if these cannot be applied through being translated into operational terms. This includes such social policy decisions as endeavours not to break the web of kinship in re-housing slum dwellers. Those who exercise this range of skills include clinical, educational and industrial psychologists, psychiatrists, sociologists, social workers and a variety of less clearly defined groups.
