Description
A publication presenting the history of social work and its developmental trends. This professional book responds to the changes that have occurred in human society in recent years. The processes of globalization, the shortening of distances, the increasing amount of information and the speed at which it spreads, the growing pressure on individuals, the aging population of developed countries, changing educational demands, as well as the rising significance of populism and demagoguery, all pose challenges that our society must face. At the same time, these trends open up space for the development of social work as both a profession and a science, aimed at social cohesion. A profession and science that is based on the principles of social justice, human rights, shared responsibility, and respect for diversity. This textbook is intended for students of bachelor's and follow-up master's degree programs in social policy and social work, as well as for the broad professional and lay public that is not indifferent to the development of our society.
