    Social Work

    Social Care under State Socialism (1945-1989)

    In discourses on 'Social Care under State Socialism' we find the prejudice that social work as a professional discipline was abolished to the largest extent. Another prejudice indicates that any existence of a social care system was fundamentally instructed by 'Moscow' and performed in a totally standardized way. However, recent research results show that these images do not correspond to the actual welfare structure behind the 'iron curtain'. The refusal […]

    Evidence-based Practice – Modernising the Knowledge Base of Social Work?

    The quest to create an evidence-based Social Work practice is emerging strongly in different fields of Social Work and social policy. In this volume internationally renowned proponents and opponents of this approach deliver profound analyses of the meaning and implications of an evidence based perspective which clearly challenges the nature of the knowledge base of the established Social Work practice and apparently reevaluates and reshapes the character of welfare professionalism.

    Amid Social Contradictions

    Zwischen Sozialer Arbeit und Politik bestehen seit jeher Wechselwirkungen, Abhängigkeiten und Abgrenzungen. Die historischen Forschungen in verschiedenen Ländern Europas zeigen, dass die eindeutige Orientierung der Sozialen Arbeit an sozialstaatlichen Anliegen nur einen möglichen Rahmen der Sozialen Arbeit darstellt. Alternative Wege, regionale Initiativen oder internationale Verbindungen, die gegenüber politischen Systemen Distanz zeigten und Eigenständigkeit oder sogar Widerstand für sich in Anspruch nahmen, differenzieren das bisher weit verbreitete Bild einer vorwiegend und […]
