The Social Worker's Practice Manual 복습(하는 중)

How effective such organizations are in supporting their staff through such difficulties varies enormously. Some social workers are fortunate to work in supportive teams, with supportive managers. Others are not so fortunate. In my view, the quality of employer support can be crucial, which is one of the main reasons why one of my main interests is in leadership (Thompson, 2016b, 2022a). But it is also important to note that we can influence, to a certain extent, the organizations we work for. These challenges are also part of what we need to prepare for, and so elements of 'workplace survival' are to be found in this manual too. 생태관점에서 본다면 한 쪽만 일방적으로 영향을 받는 경우는 없습니다. 사회사업가도 기관에 영향을 미칠 수 있습니다. WHAT IS SOCIAL WORK? The question is only four words in length, but it is still a very big question! There are very big debates to be had about the nature of social work (see the discussion in my Understanding Social Work - Thompson, 2020b), but what I want to emphasize here is that we need to be very clear about the boundaries of our work, the boundaries of social work. 21 At all times you need to be clear: Is what I am being asked to do (or what I feel I should do) appropriate within my social work role? 21 It is very easy to be drawn here and there by different pressures and demands, but we must keep a clear focus on our social work role at all times. 21-22 일의 바운더리를 분명히 해야합니다. 사회사업가는 다양한 압박과 요구에 이리저리 끌려다니기 십상입니다. How social work will be carried out will, of course, vary from setting to setting, context to context, but, whatever form it takes, we will need to keep a clear focus on its core elements, not least the professional knowledge, skills and values that we will be discussing later. This diversity should not be confused with vagueness. Many times I have had to challenge people who say that 'Social work is so vague, isn't it?' My response has consistently been: 'It is only vague if done vaguely' (see the discussion of systematic practice in Section 23). … Social work is equally diverse and also has its core foundations - anyone who sees social work as 'vague' is therefore unaware of those foundations or has lost sight of them (see Thompson, 2016c). 22 사회사업은 상황과 맥락에 따라 하는 일이 다양합니다. 그러나 그 다양한 일들을 관통하는 core elements가 있습니다. 다양함을 모호함과 혼동해서는 안 됩니다. 사회사업 일은 다양한 것이지 모호한 것이 아닙니다. WHO NEEDS SOCIAL WORK? In a nutshell, he argued that everyone has problems; we all have challenges and difficulties that we need to deal with. However, some people have problems in dealing with their problems, difficulties in managing their difficulties (England, 1986). What this means is that some people's life challenges are more challenging than is the case for most others. This can be for various reasons, not least: poverty and deprivation; discrimination and oppression; disability; infirmity or vulnerability related to age and/ or health concerns; alcohol or other drug dependency; loss, grief and trauma; stress; mental health problems; and various other social and personal factors. 22 모든 사람은 문제가 있습니다. 다만 여느 사람에 비해 문제를 다루기 더 어려운 사람이 있을 뿐입니다. 여러 사회적 개인적 요소로 인해서.. We also have to take time into consideration. What I mean by this is that some people may need social work at particular times, but not at others. … This emphasis on time helps to prevent dependency creation. It is important that we do not label people as being in need of social work support as if it is some sort of character flaw or personal weakness. Our assessment needs to be much more sophisticated than that, as we shall see. 23 상황적 약자 개념. 특정한 그 때에 사회사업 도움이 필요한 겁니다. 다른 때는 그렇지 않습니다. 사회사업 도움이 필요한 사람들을 성격의 흠이나 개인적 결함이 있다는 듯이 딱지 붙이지 말아야 합니다. 우리의 사정은 더 정교해야 합니다. WHY ARE YOU IN THIS PERSON'S LIFE? There is a fine but highly significant line between intervention (the technical term for what we do in helping people) and interference (being an unwelcome and inappropriate presence in someone's life). The former is ethical, the latter is certainly not. This means that, at all times, we need to be clear why we are in someone's life and whether it can be justified. 29 왜 그 사람 인생에 들어가 있나요? 그 이유와 그것이 정당화될 수 있는 것인지 명확히 해야 합니다. 간섭과 개입의 차이.
