The Origins of Social Care and Social Work

Meer over het boek

Exploring the historical roots of social work, the book delves into how religious texts and traditions shape contemporary practices in Europe and North America. Mark Henrickson emphasizes the importance of critiquing these origins to discern what aspects should be preserved or transformed for a truly global profession. By addressing key issues such as social justice, professionalization, and colonial legacies, it encourages practitioners and scholars to envision and forge a more inclusive future for social work.
