Franklin Benjamin Sanborn: Human Services Innovator
Chaiklin, Harris
Research on Social Work Practice, v15 n2 p127-134 2005
In social welfare history, F. B. Sanborn is only vaguely remembered. Yet he initiated landmark programs in public welfare and institutions for the mentally ill, retarded, deaf, and criminal. He played a major role in creating and sustaining the National Conference of Charities and Corrections. His program innovations were so far ahead of his time that even today, public welfare is trying to attain goals that he took for granted. In addition, he was active in other organizations and was an author and editor. This article explores Sanborn's history with the aim of bringing it into focus so that he might receive the recognition that he deserves.
