社会工作伦理本土化研究述评

伦理是社会工作的生命线,西方社会工作伦理本土化情况对我国社会工作的推进与发展产生重要影响.学界近15年来对社会工作伦理本土化研究主要集中在中国传统文化对其影响与融合,社会工作伦理本土化的具体困境,社会工作伦理构建方向与情况三大方面.在进行全面综述和评价的基础上,认为充分认识西方社会工作伦理与中国社会工作伦理的相容性与异质性,结合时代精神和现实需要推进西方社会工作伦理本土化,构建适合中国国情的社会工作伦理体系将是今后学界研究的重点.     

中庸思想对社会工作价值观本土化的潜在贡献

在当今构建和谐社会的时代背景下,中庸思想作为修身养性与治国安天下的思想方法,在世界观、伦理观塑造方面具有方法论意义。作为西方舶来品的社会工作,面对中国文化处境时,必须结合中国文化特点,因地制宜地走本土化之路。而社会工作价值观是社会工作的灵魂,社会工作本土化首要是促成社会工作价值观的本土化。试图通过对儒家中庸思想的分析,建立起中庸之道与社会工作价值观之间的关联,探索中庸思想对社会工作价值观本土化的潜在贡献。

中国本土化社会工作：牧区社会工作探析

社会工作作为一项助人活动古今中外皆有之,而专业社会工作是西方社会的产物。在学习和借鉴西方专业社会工作的同时,积极探索中国本土化社会工作理论及其实务,一直是社会工作界的重要任务。其中针对中国本土化牧区社会工作进行深入研究与探索,不仅是本土化社会工作亟需开拓的重要课题,而且对于“三牧”问题的解决具有突出的现实意义。该文对中国本土化牧区社会工作之现实亟需、发展路径等进行初步探究,提出加强政府主导、加快专业人才培养、积极开拓服务领域和介入空间是当前发展本土化牧区社会工作的必要选择。     

中国社会工作理论本土化研究进展

在中国社会工作发展取得颇多成就之际,社会工作本土化成为各界关注的核心议题。社会工作理论本土化建构,是实现中国社会工作本土化目标的关键路径。基于此,对当前学界关于中国社会工作理论本土化研究成果的梳理与反思,显得尤为必要;同时,提出“文化自觉”、“理论自觉”、“专业自觉”、“制度自觉”应成为中国社会工作理论本土化的基本路径。     

社会养老服务体系下的老年社会工作本土化探索

本文通过梳理社会养老服务体系提出的发展过程,探讨了社会养老服务体系下老年社会工作本土化的可行性和必要性.我国现有的本土化模式有嵌入式、新生式和合作式三种,然而相关条例制定仍过于宏观,对老年社会工作的迫切需求与实际投入不成比例,工作者整体服务质量有待提高,且区域发展不平衡.针对这些问题,笔者提出应该借助社会养老体系建设发展机遇,完善老年社会工作政策;加快老年社会工作职业化建设,提高专业人才待遇;注重老年社会工作本土化教育,促进本土实践专业化;缩小地区差异,加快农村地区的发展     

学校社会工作的本土化研究

在西方国家以及我国港台地区,教育界和社会福利部门均要求政府加强学校社会工作的服务,学校社会工作已在预防、补救和遏止青少年问题上起到了不可替代的作用。而在内地,学校社会工作的实务及研究尚处于开拓阶段,迫切需要探讨出一种切合实际的本土化的发展模式。     

论中国社会工作伦理与法治秩序的构建

法律和社会伦理是社会工作组织及社会工作者必须遵守的两种行为准则。社会工作实践中,人们高度重视社会伦理,却忽视了社会工作法律。为了更好地促进社会工作健康有序发展,社会工作法治秩序的建构不可忽视,同时也存在着现实障碍,要从社会工作者及服务对象法律信仰的建构、法律意识的重塑、社会工作法律资源的补给和法治秩序与社会伦理的整合着手,构建符合中国社会工作现实情况的现代法治秩序。     

落地生根：中国社会工作本土化与基础理论建构

近三十年的中国社会工作实践与研究表明,根植于西方古希腊、古罗马文化及基督教文明的西方社会工作理论显然无法完全解释和指导中国的社会工作实践。中国具有自己强国家弱社会、注重家庭与集体忽视个人权利与自由、社会工作本土化的实现路径是自上而下等特殊国情,几千年的传统文化已深深地渗入到中国人的日常生活、关系行为与思维模式之中。如何让社会工作在中国“落地生根”,最关键的就是必须强调深度挖掘中国传统文化中的积极元素,建构能够指导中国社会工作实践的基础理论。     

中国社会工作本土化教育模式探索

文章综合阐述了社会工作本土化的相关理论,分析了中国社会工作专业教育存在的问题：社会工作专业教育质量偏低;社会工作教育师资力量薄弱;社会工作专业教育中课程设置重理论轻实务;“拿来即用”现象依然存在,“本土化”特色不够。在此基础上提出了社会工作本土化教育模式的基本框架。     

我国社会工作专业化、职业化功能及其实现途径

在和谐社会构建中,社会工作具有发挥社会服务、化解社会矛盾、解决社会问题的功能。然而现实中,社会工作的价值基础缺失、专业手段不足、工作内容单一,严重制约着其在社会发展与和谐社会建设中的作用。实现社会工作功能的基本途径在于重塑价值基础、强化专业手段、拓展工作内容。     

Gerontology as a Graduate Social Work Concentration

Abstract

Gerontology education in one graduate school of social work is advancing across a life course. From its origins of three students, now over 100 graduates serve elders and significant others. Grounding, growing, and sustaining gerontology as a “concentration” comes with challenge and reward. This article denotes the origins of a gerontology concentration, describing “community as impetus” and “outreach to students.” It proceeds to concentration outcomes, presenting “alumni as partners” and “community as beneficiary.” Sustainment of gerontology as a concentration is attributed to internal and external investment in a gerontologically- and geriatrically-sophisticated social work force.

Social Exclusion, Inequality and Social Work

This paper sets out the environment of inequality in which social work and the poor have recently operated. It explores pragmatic and idealist arguments concerning whether or not the poor need social work. Finally, policy solutions developed in consultation with social service users and carers are suggested in relation to poverty and social exclusion. Social exclusion can be linked to relative poverty as exclusion from economic and social norms. However, there is a wider brief in our own government’s publications and those of Europe, of examining how people are excluded from actions and policies of agencies who are there to support them. This paper will retain the concepts of poverty as lack of material income, and inequality as the gap between the rich and the poor, while being aware of the policy implications for social service users and carers of the more comprehensive process of being shut out partially or fully from social, economic, political and cultural systems. The debates around social work, social exclusion and inequality that follow establish: that some of the poor do need social work; that the poverty of social service users is related to policies that have restructured welfare in Britain; that the reason for individuals approaching or being referred to social services are complex but are likely to include financial deprivation as a key contributory factor; that if the poor do need social work, advocacy is essential rather than social work being seen as concerned only with social control—taking children into care, mentally ill people into hospitals, and advising the DSS on the suitability of claimants for benefits. Finally, the discussion turns to new policy agendas on social exclusion instigated by the Labour government. What positive difference can such policies make for social service users, their carers and social workers?.     

The Response of Schools of Social Work to the Return of Uniformed Service Members and Their Families

学校社会工作在高校学生工作中的介入探析

随着社会的进步和高校改革的进一步深入,大学生群体出现了许多新情况新问题,传统的学生工作系统不能及时对此做出回应,很难满足大学生的个别化的需要。社会工作在我国已经有了20余年的发展,已经积累了相关的研究和实践,在高校学生工作中引入学校社会工作的时机日渐成熟。     

A Definition of Social Work for Practice

Australian and international discussions of the broad mission of social work, of its underlying premise that the personal is political, that it is responsive and able to take a leadership role from a clear value base, are sophisticated debates that demonstrate the vitality, dynamism, and enthusiasm of a profession cognizant of changes and challenges occurring outside it. However such developments and considerations are possibly most meaningful for those social workers who are either very clear about what social work is or who are not daily confronted with challenges to explain or account for their profession in performance-driven agency contexts. This article proposes a simple definition of social work which, while cognizant of the theoretical developments occurring both in and outside the profession, presents the profession in a way that clearly articulates what it is that social workers do.     

Social Work and End-of-Life Care

Abstract

This paper reviews the professional literature with respect to the social work profession's involvement in end-of-life care. The search process was conducted by entering key words in various combinations to electronic databases. Eligible articles were required to address one of the following: roles and activities of social workers in providing end-of-life care; core principles valued by social workers in the provision of end-of-life care; and barriers to provision of effective end-of-life care. The literature from 1990 through July 2004 was searched most rigorously. Based on this review, suggestions for where the profession of social work should focus its energies are offered. These key areas include focusing on generating empirically-based knowledge for practice and policy analysis and developing a system of social work education that addresses the unique knowledge and skills needed to participate in end-of-life practice as competent and informed professional practitioners. Current initiatives with regard to critical areas are summarized.
