Social Work in Germany. Developments in a professional field and academic discipline
Journal Title: Papers of Social Pedagogy - Year 2019, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
In many countries of the Global North, social work developed as an independent profession and discipline in the 20th century. One of the countries in which social work became established as a professional field was Germany. This field's origins go back to the “social question”.<br/><br/>The articles in this volume deal with current social work issues, offering an insight into the current state of discussion on each topic in Germany. They all draw attention to the complex interplay between local social work and the field’s expansion beyond individual places and national states, and the interconnections between national societal developments in Germany and those on an international, global level.<br/><br/>
