The history of social work began with traditions of charity and social welfare dating back to ancient civilizations. In the late 1800s, organized charity societies emerged in Europe and the United States which led to the development of social work as a distinct profession. Early social workers sought to professionalize the field through establishing academic training programs and professional associations. However, there was debate around whether social work qualified as a true profession. Over time, the field shifted its focus more towards mental health services and casework while reducing its emphasis on broader social reforms. Modern definitions of social work emphasize promoting social change, social justice, and empowering individuals and communities.

Social Case work, Historical Development and Principles
Introduction:
All human beings are part of the society and everyone in the society has different social role and duties.
While performing his role and duties, individual faces many problems in one or other form, which hinder his performance as a social being.
Casework is the oldest and the most developed method of solving individuals problems and improving his social relations.

Social case work developed as a professional method in the late 19th century to help individuals solve problems in their social functioning. It aims to enable clients to have more satisfying experiences dealing with problems in their social environment. The historical development of case work involved the establishment of organizations like the Charity Organization Society in London in 1869 and the use of "friendly visitors" and later trained "paid agents" and "almoners". Case work principles include individualization, purposeful expression of feelings, self-determination, acceptance, and maintaining client confidentiality.
This document discusses the social group work tradition and its commitment to social justice. It covers two historical periods: 1) From the late 1800s to the 1930s, when social group work traditions took root in response to industrialization through volunteer groups and settlements. Key aspects included democratic small groups, social goals, and activism. 2) From the 1930s to 1950s, when social group work's concepts and theories were formulated and it became aligned with social work. The tradition emphasizes both individual and social change through democratic participation, pursuit of social goals, and use of group processes.
Social work aims to help people function well within their environment. Its roots are in charitable organizations from the 1800s that helped the poor. Key developments include medical social work in hospitals in the early 1900s, casework methods developed in the 1920s, and settlements led by Jane Addams that influenced social reform and legislation. Formal social work education began in the early 1900s and the first MSW program was established in the 1920s. The Social Security Act of 1935 established the US government as a major provider of public aid. The National Association of Social Workers was formed in 1955.
Group work developed as a method in social work to help individuals through group activities and enhance their skills, knowledge, and understanding. It originated from self-help organizations and settlement houses in the early 1900s in the US and was influenced by progressive education. Over time, group work became established within the social work profession through the work of pioneers like Grace Coyle and was introduced into social work education programs around the world by the 1950s. It has continued to develop specialized techniques while distinguishing itself from group psychotherapy.
Social work helps people solve personal, group, and community problems through attaining satisfying relationships. It is both an art and a science practiced by trained professionals according to certain principles. The social work process involves intake, study, diagnosis, treatment including various techniques, evaluation, and rehabilitation. Social work has developed historically from religious and charity organizations in places like the US and UK and more recently in India through groups like Tata Institute of Social Sciences. It aims to empower communities and promote well-being through theories of human behavior and social justice.
The document provides an overview of social casework including its history, definitions, objectives, components, techniques, and types of problems addressed. Some key points:
- Social casework aims to help clients better adjust their relationships and develop self-sufficiency through understanding their full circumstances and motivations.
- It originated in religious/charitable work and evolved into a scientific approach focused on treating each person as a unique individual.
- The main objectives are helping clients mobilize their own capacities to solve problems and achieve a healthy adjustment between their situation and environment.
- It involves understanding clients' problems in the context of internal/external forces and social functioning, while also considering their resources and agency/community support
This document is a prepublication version of a paper on the history and traditions of group work in social work. It discusses the origins and early development of group work alongside casework in the late 19th century, as well as the theoretical underpinnings and practices of group work. The document aims to explore the unique elements of group work that could help define a unified conception of social work practice.
Was social work always committed to social justice?Malcolm Payne
油
Social work has evolved from early benevolent and judgmental approaches focused on individual relief to embrace broader commitments to social justice. Early literature highlighted concerns about unjust conditions created by industrialization, such as poor housing and the exploitation of child and female labor. While social work began as charity work, it increasingly took on public roles focused on reform, such as improving conditions for workers. The development of democracy and urbanization further shaped social work to view clients as citizens worthy of dignity and opportunity rather than as recipients of charity.
This document discusses various sociological concepts for understanding society and human behavior. It begins by defining structuralism as focusing on relationships between elements in a conceptual system. It then discusses post-structuralism and highlights Foucault's work emphasizing the changeability of identities. Key thinkers discussed include Emile Durkheim, Ferdinand de Saussure, and their concepts of collective consciousness, langue, and parole. The document also covers feminism, capitalism, forms of capital, status quo, and the roles of structure and agency in social construction as conceptualized by theorists like Bourdieu, Giddens, and others.
Social group work began in the late 19th/early 20th century influenced by settlement houses, progressive education, and democratic ideals. It grew out of informal organizations in the US and was established as a method in social work education in the 1930s-1940s. Key figures helped define it as distinct from group psychotherapy. It was introduced globally in social work schools by the 1950s and continued developing new techniques. In India, it began in the 1930s in social work schools and was emphasized in programs in the 1960s, mainly using the American theoretical framework until recent indigenization efforts.

Social group work aims to develop individuals through group activities and interactions. It uses groups to help individuals achieve social goals in a democratic manner. Key characteristics include using multiple relationships within groups, promoting identification between members, and using program activities to facilitate skills and relationships. The objectives are to assist individual maturation, provide social and emotional support, promote democratic participation, and address social problems. Social group work has its roots in organizations from the late 19th/early 20th century that promoted self-help and recreation. It became more formalized as a method within social work in the 1930s-1950s.
The presentation dealt with the introduction, meaning, definition, purpose, values, assumptions and ethical principles of social casework.

The document discusses the history and evolution of social casework as a method of social work. It outlines how social casework began as informal helping by individuals throughout history but became a more formal, professionalized method in the late 19th/early 20th century. Key developments included the establishment of charity organizations in the US and UK in the 1800s that used volunteers and later paid agents to assess individual needs, and the opening of the first US School of Social Work in 1898 in response to modern problems requiring specialized training. The document then discusses how early 20th century developments like standardized training programs and the publication of Mary Richmond's influential book "Social Diagnosis" helped establish social casework as a core method of the social work profession.
This document discusses the use of ethnography to study social entrepreneurship. It provides an overview of ethnography, including its key features of observing everyday contexts and relying on unstructured data collection. The author then summarizes his ethnographic study of Keystone, a social enterprise located in Thetford, England. He observed tensions between generating revenue and community engagement. Preliminary analyses examined how social ventures can use ambiguous identities, and how Keystone helped stigmatized groups but then faced stigma itself. The document concludes by discussing challenges and advantages of ethnography for organizational research.
Sociology is the science that studies the origin, growth, and evolution of social customs, standards, and institutions. It analyzes and defines them, and studies the causes that tend to force people below normal standards. There are two main branches - pure sociology which is theoretical and historical, and applied sociology which focuses on issues like social problems. However, critics argue that sociology needs more focus on finding social solutions to problems, leading to the emergence of humanistic sociology.
Humanistic sociology positions people as the subject and focuses on meeting human needs. It views sociology not just as an academic discipline but as a way to create positive social change and a better world. Experts in humanistic soci
This document provides an overview of the history of community organization in the United States, United Kingdom, and India. It discusses that early attempts at community organization began in England with the Elizabethan Poor Law of 1601. In the United States, community organization efforts began in the late 1800s with the establishment of charity organizations in cities to coordinate charitable relief work. The history is then divided into three periods: the charity organization period from 1870-1917, the rise of federations from 1917-1935, and the period of expansion and professional development from 1935 to present. Community organization in India grew from efforts to address social problems through cooperative and democratic participation.
The document discusses international social work and perspectives from various scholars and practitioners. It addresses the meaning of international social work, new agendas in the field including terrorism and global warming, and lessons for social work education. International social work is defined as addressing problems between nations or across boundaries, with a focus on the well-being of all people worldwide regardless of nationality. It is suggested social work adopt a more global vision, understand issues in context, embrace human rights from below, incorporate post-colonial studies, be more value-based, and deconstruct privileged perspectives from the West. Examples from Costa Rica and Scotland illustrate opportunities to learn about social problems in other countries and compare human services between nations.

United States in 1877
A similar organization, called the London Society for Organizing Charitable Relief and Repressing
Mendicancy had been established in England in 1869
The Buffalo Charity Organization was established in 1877.
The idea of organizing charity spread widely throughout the United States in the late 1800s
The original goals of COS leaders proved difficult to sustain. Individual approaches to the complex problem of
poverty failed to stop its growth. There was also an insufficient pool of volunteers to carry out an effective
system of friendly visiting. Increasingly, charities turned to the use of paid staff to investigate applications and
visit the poor (Lubove, 1969).
These paid agents were a major forerunner of professional social workers. Like the earlier charity volunteers,
they were chiefly women. They also tended to be Protestant, White, and middle class.

A broad social movement in the United States, often labeled the
Progressive Era, developed in the early 1900s and climaxed in
the 1912 election of Theodore Roosevelt. Many social workers
were active in the Progressive Movement.
Amidst the ferment of social reform in the early 1900s, some
social work leaders were turning their attention to the
development of formal education in the field. By 1910, social
work, as it was coming to be called, boasted five professional
training schools.
Following calls for formal training by Mary Richmond and
other COS leaders, the New York Charity Organization Society
responded by establishing the New York Summer School of
Applied Philanthropy in New York City in 1898.
This initial series of courses for charity workers soon became a
full-fledged school of social work (now the prestigious
Columbia School of Social Work).

Flexner was widely regarded as an
authority on graduate professional
education. His title Is Social Work a
Profession? posed a major question
for the field, and his listeners no doubt
waited on the edge of their seats for his
answer (Flexner, 1915, as cited in
Leighninger, 2000).
Is social work a profession in the ...
strict sense of the term? ... I have made
the point that all the established and
recognized professions have definite
and specific ends. . . . This is not true
of social work. It appears not so much
a defined field as an aspect of work in
many fields. (pp. 3739, pp. 4346)
7. Sejarah peksos
Flexner went on to explain that to make a profession in the genuine
sense, certain objective standards had to be formulated.
The groups activities must be limited to those reflecting these standards.
The activities should be intellectual in character, based on the
laboratory and the seminar.
He also assured them that professions were also definitely practical. He
saw social work falling short, however, not only in intellectual preparation
but in the vagueness and lack of specificity in aim.
What was to be made of this amorphous group working in so many fields
and types of organizations? The work called for well- informed, well-
balanced, tactful, judicious, sympathetic, and resourceful people rather
than those with a definite kind of technical skill. But, he reassured the
group, social work was a needed endeavor. All that mattered was a
professional spirit, a humanitarian and spiritual approach, and unselfish
devotion (Flexner, 1915, as cited in Leighninger, 2000, pp. 3947).

The fields aspirations toward professionalism were also encouraged by
another famous speech, this time by a social work academic.
Porter Lee, director of the New York School of Social Work, addressed the
National Conference of Social Work (a telling name change for the National
Conference of Charities and Corrections) in 1929.
In his presidential address, Lee praised the achievements of pioneers in the
field of social welfare and heralded a new period about to unfold.
Lee told the audience about the transition from cause to function in a
modern society. Zeal would now give way to training and intelligence, and
sacrifice and flaming spirits to methods and standards. Social work was
changing from social reform to the organized provision of social casework
and other help to individuals with problems (Leighninger, 1987, pp. 78).

The American Association of
Social Workers was founded
in 1921. This was a broad

required for membership.

(Morris,
2000)
The tradition initially was part of a much wider interest in social
change and human needs that had been expressed since 1860
through the National Conference of Charities and Corrections and
the American Social Science Association.
The movement became a part of the later progressive movement.
The early participants were multidisciplined, drawn from sociology,
nascent economists, other social scientists, lay community leaders,
clergy, and workers in agencies.
Social work as a distinctive vocation soon concentrated on
developing its position as a profession, with the apparatus of a social
science: academic training to com- bine learning and practical
experience and professional associations with accrediting authority.
11. Summary sejarah peksos (Morris, 2000)
The twin aims of individual care and changing conditions have been retained in the
expressed aims of the field, but after 1935 the development of the Great Depression and
World War II forced the field to reconsider its future.
A series of choices, some taken almost unwittingly, were reinforced by the popularity of
new mental health thinking and the compatibility of psychological theory with social
casework, along with the great social and economic changes following the Depression.
By 1990, the field was primarily involved in interpersonal and mental health kinds of
careers, while work to change conditions remained at the rhetorical level rather than
providing jobs and institutional opportunities to work for change.
At the same time, social work as a profession was identified mainly with counseling help
to individuals or as adjunct staff for organizations, rather than becoming the profession
associated with any one service system (pp. 4445).

Global definition of social work:
Social work is a practice-based profession and an academic discipline
that promotes social change and development, social cohesion, and the
empowerment and liberation of people. Principles of social justice,
human rights, collective responsibility and respect for diversities are
central to social work. Underpinned by theories of social work, social
sciences, humanities and indigenous knowledges, social work engages
people and structures to address life challenges and enhance
wellbeing. The above definition may be amplified at national and/or
regional levels.

Theory

indigenous knowledge
specific to its context. It
recognises the complexity of

address the barriers,
inequities and injustices that
exist in society. It responds
