We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Task Planner: An Intervention Resource for Human Service Professionals" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Surveying the expanding conflict in Europe during one of his famous fireside chats in 1940, President Franklin Roosevelt ominously warned that we know of other methods, new methods of attack. The Trojan horse. The fifth column that betrays a nation unprepared for treachery. Spies, saboteurs, and traitors are the actors in this new strategy. Having identified a new type of war--a shadow war--being perpetrated by Hitlers Germany, FDR decided to fight fire with fire, authorizing the formation of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) to organize and oversee covert operations. Based on an extensive analysis of OSS records, including the vast trove of records released by the CIA in the 1980s and 90s, as well as a new set of interviews with OSS veterans conducted by the author and a team of American scholars from 1995 to 1997, The Shadow War Against Hitler is the full story of Americas far-flung secret intelligence apparatus during World War II.

In addition to its responsibilities generating, processing, and interpreting intelligence information, the OSS orchestrated all manner of dark operations, including extending feelers to anti-Hitler elements, infiltrating spies and sabotage agents behind enemy lines, and implementing propaganda programs. Planned and directed from Washington, the anti-Hitler campaign was largely conducted in Europe, especially through the OSSs foreign outposts in Bern and London. A fascinating cast of characters made the OSS run: William J. Donovan, one of the most decorated individuals in the American military who became the driving force behind the OSSs genesis; Allen Dulles, the future CIA chief who ran the Bern office, which he called the big window onto the fascist world; a veritable pantheon of Ivy League academics who were recruited to work for the intelligence services; and, not least, Roosevelt himself. A major contribution of the book is the story of how FDR employed Hitlers former propaganda chief, Ernst Putzi Hanfstengl, as a private spy.

More than a record of dramatic incidents and daring personalities, this book adds significantly to our understanding of how the United States fought World War II. It demonstrates that the extent, and limitations, of secret intelligence information shaped not only the conduct of the war but also the face of the world that emerged from the shadows.

Contents
Although my name appears as its sole author, this book is the work of many authors. Following each task planner are the names of those who contributed to its creation at different stages in its development. This book owes its existence to their special knowledge and creative efforts.
I am especially indebted to one of these individualsPamela Zettergren, my research assistant throughout much of the period during which this volume was written. A perusal of the book will reveal her substantial contribution to the drafting and revising of the task planners.
I am also in debt to a number of other contributors whose enhancement of the book is only partially reflected in their credits for particular task planners. Included are Mary Corrigan, James Golden, Jennifer Hescheles, Miranda Koss, Matthias Naleppa, Darren OLeary, and Blanca Ramos. For their able assistance in word processing, my thanks are also due to Mary Ann Burke and Paula Marion.
I owe much to the student practitioners who both applied the task planners in their field instruction settings and critiqued them in my classes on task-centered practice. As a result of their valuable feedback, existing task planners were improved and new ones added.
Finally, my grateful acknowledgement to two very supportive administratorsLynn Videka-Sherman and Anne E. Fortune, the Dean and Associate Dean of the School of Social Welfare during the time the book was created.

1. Locate the problem of interest to you in the List of Task Planners. If you cant locate the problem by this means, check the index. Task planners are alphabetized, but the problem may not be referred to in the terms you might have in mind. For example, marital problems are found under COUPLE PROBLEMS. The accompanying disk can also be used to search task planners using key terms.
2. The Task Menus provide a variety of tasks that may be used with your clients and that will stimulate your thinking about other possibilities. However, the menus are by no means exhaustive.
3. Indication is given when tasks may be logically used in the order in which they are listed.
4. Terms or letters in italics are explained in the Common Procedures section at the end of the volume.
5. When a task calls for the client to engage in an activity that may require instruction or facilitation, such as progressive relaxation, exposure, or cognitive restructuring, it is assumed that the practitioner will provide whatever instruction or facilitation may be necessary. Such standard activities will not be mentioned under Practitioners Role. Technical details regarding the practitioners helping efforts as part of any italicized method are found in the Common Procedures section.
6. Detailed guidelines for use of the task planners may be found in Task Planners: Overview and Applications.
This work provides a resource for answering questions of perennial concern to practitioners and students in the human services, such as What kind of problem is my client facing? What can he or she do to resolve it? What can I do to facilitate the resolution? The volume covers a large array of common problems that human service practitioners attempt to help their clients resolve. Although we emphasize problems dealt with by social workers, most are also encountered by other practitioners in the human services, including psychologists, psychiatrists, guidance counselors, teachers, and nurses.
