Changes in Authoritarianism as a Measure of Effectiveness of Inseroice Social Work Training AARON P. T. LOFTUS· INTRODUCTION AT the beginning of 1964, two groups were selected for two Inservtce training courses in social work prior to appointment as Probation Officers, Welfare Officers and other similar social work functions within the South Australian Public Service.
