title: Exploring possible relations among social sciences, social work, and health interventions.
abstract: Health interventions are subject to the influences and constraints associated with the traditional relations and distinctions between academic disciplines and professions. The unique ethical and political-policy aspects of professional behavior are discussed, especially within the context of professionals' use of selected and specific academic discipline questions and derived subject material. Particular emphasis is given to the critical concepts of "risk" and the "community" in addition to "need" and the "individual."
