「社會工作」是項專業嗎?「社會工作」因何產生?社會可以不要社會工作人員嗎?「社會工作師」與「志工」又有何差異?它與「諮商」、「輔導」或「心理治療」又有什麼不同呢?這一連串的諸多問題經常困擾著許多社會工作專業的初學者,總在經歷無數專業挫敗後方恍然大悟「社會工作」到底是什麼?瞭解該如何成為一位適任的「社會工作」專業人員。職是之故,本課程的目標有下列幾點:
一、讓學生瞭解社工專業的相關基礎知識,並介紹及釐清其與其他鄰近專業間的關係。 二、型塑「團隊工作」與「做中學(learning by doing)」的學習環境,讓學生將學習成果應用至個人的日常生活當中,並進而實踐於助人專業中。 |

The social work is a professional to help people to self-help. Its purpose is to solve the social problems, empower the disadvantaged people to acquire what they should get and improve the well-being for all people in the society. In order to provide a broad overview of the field and profession of social work, this course stresses the link between professional education and practice. It offers both a historical perspective on the development of social work and current social work practice paradigms, with special consideration of current social problems. The introductory theoretical base of the text highlights the trend toward the generalist perspective and model of practice. The first semester in 2002 will provide a historical and theoretical context for social work, including its relationship to other social services. The second, we will discuss social work practice with individuals, groups, and communities, including case work, administration, and research. And the next semester in 2002, Social work services are discussed by us, including the role of social work in mental health, health care, the public schools, public welfare, child and family services, Social Security, the correctional system, the workplace, and working with the aged. Areas receiving special attention include drug abuse; work with minorities, and social work in rural areas. Finally, this subject also covers professional development, including the current focus on prevention and future opportunities. For anyone considering social work as a profession or interested in a current overview of the field. |
