Family Trauma

Model H5 dotyczący traumy uchodźczej oraz jego zastosowanie w praktyce pracy społecznej – celem ulepszenia wsparcia rodzin uchodźczych. Rozważania teoretyczne i praktyczne Autorzy dokonują analizy złożoności zagadnienia godności ludzkiej oraz godności ludzkiej jako koncepcji oraz jej umiejscowienia w ramach dzisiejszych form i praktyk pracy społecznej. W związku z tym autorzy rozważają tematykę pojmowania godności ludzkiej, w tym godności ludzkiej jako wartości społeczno-prawnej, jej istotności dla pracy społecznej w ogóle oraz z racji podstawowych wartości relewantnych dla pracy społecznej. Autorzy egzaminują ewolucję podejść pracy społecznej wobec godności ludzkiej koncentrując się na działalności organizacji międzynarodowych, ich członków stowarzyszonych i partnerów związanych z pracą społeczną, których zadaniem m.in. jest promować oraz dbać o przestrzeganie wartości godności ludzkiej w dostarczaniu codziennych praktyk i usług pracy społecznej.

The Social

Social work literature, research, and practice on disabilities has lagged behind other topical areas dealing with oppressed groups. The social work literature remains “expert focused” and generally fragmented into discussions of specific disabilities or subpopulations. A viable general model that deals with the personal experience of disability is not available. This exploratory study presents a social work literature search and analysis as well as interviews with six individuals with disabilities about their experiences with social workers. Individuals with disabilities assert that they were treated as though they had categorically fewer aspirations, abilities, and perhaps even fundamental rights than did nondisabled people. This study provides a base for follow-up research on models of consumer-focused social work practice in the area of disability.

Development Approach

Supervision practice in social work is understood as the mainstay of the profession. However, various studies have pointed to the inadequacies of supervision to facilitate quality service provision. Previous studies have reflected a general misalignment between the approach to supervision practice and the approach to social work practice as one inadequacy leading to the failure of supervision practice. Although there are numerous supervision models in the profession, some of which are aligned with certain practice approaches, none is directly identifiable with the social development approach, which should be at the core of social work orientation in South Africa. Thus, this article provides a process model of supervision in social work that aims to establish a dialectical relationship between supervision and the social development practice approach. The study was underpinned by Thomas’ research and design process, which was used to design and develop a social work supervision model mirroring a social development approach. The paper concludes with recommendations related to the use of the developed model.
