Working with children who are victims of abuse: Emotions and representations of professionals in residential children's communities
2020
Professionals who work in residential children’s communities face many difficulties and, when the hosted children have a history of abuse and maltreatment, the risk of vicarious traumatization and professional burn-out, which has a negative effect on the professional’s work and well-being as well as on the effectiveness at work, is very high.This qualitative study aims to explore, via the content analysis of text recorded in some Photolangage® groups, the representations of social workers and educators in residential children’s communities on the theme of work management of physical and sexual abuse victims. The participants were 37 social workers from 6 residential communities for 0-6 year…
Bridging the Gaps: Literacy, Media Literacy Education, and Critical Digital Social Work
2021
Drawing from literacy studies and research in media literacy education, this article contends that a series of conceptual gaps need to be bridged in order to have a better understanding of how these traditions can contribute to redefining the field of digital social work. The field of digital social work should move towards a more critical-oriented dimension so that digital media and the internet should not simply be considered (as is often the case), as mere tools to improve the professionality of social workers, but rather as life environments and systems of representation shaping individuals’ identities and social relationships.
“GENDER NEUTRALITY” E “GENDER SEGREGATION” IN UNA PROFESSIONE TRADIZIONALMENTE FEMMINILE
2016
L’ingresso progressivo delle donne nel mondo del lavoro è stato accompagnato da una sostanziale “gender segregation”, che si evidenzia soprattutto in talune professioni di cura, fra cui quella dell’assistente sociale. Secondo l’autrice, non si è trattato solo, nel XX secolo, di separare foucultianamente le professioni maschili da quelle femminili, favorendo di fatto un ingresso di “genere” alle professioni, quanto di imporre un modello culturale e un habitus comportamentale “ gender neutrality” alle lavoratrici e alle professioniste. L’autrice individua una possibile causa dell’imposizione del modello “gender neutral” in un retaggio culturale “positivista e razionalista”, volto a sminuire ‒…
Introduction. Social Work with newcomers: entering into the field
2021
For about thirty years, Sicily has assumed the role of a gateway from Africa to Europe, acting as a bridge between cultures, ethnic groups and religions. When we talk about immigration in Sicily, therefore, we are referring to a structural reality, which the island's inhabitants have generally accepted with a sense of hospitality and openness. It is an interesting observation point from which it is possible to look at the social and political implications generated by immigration movements in the understanding of contemporary migration phenomena.

Utilizing ICT to prevent loneliness and social isolation of the elderly. A literature review
2016
Ageing of the population is a worldwide phenomenon. Numerous ICT-based solutions have been developed for elderly care but mainly connected to the physiological and nursing aspects in services for the elderly. Social work is a profession that should pay attention to the comprehensive wellbeing and social needs of the elderly. Many people experience loneliness and depression in their old age, either as a result of living alone or due to a lack of close family ties and reduced connections with their culture of origin, which results in an inability to participate actively in community activities (Singh & Misra, 2009). Participation in society would enhance the quality of life. With the deve…
A broadening horizon: intervention in the field of migration as a path towards internationalization for Italian social work
2022
Due to a significant increase in migration flows to Italy over the last four decades, professional social work in Italy has been confronted with the ‘internationalization of social problems’ (Dominelli 2010) over these forty years. This fast and prolific process of immigration has forced institutions to deal with issues for which our society, policies, and service system, have not been properly prepared. This highlights the need to provide updated training to social workers regarding the ‘trans‐cultural approach’, to facilitate understanding of the meanings and the cultural models and the processes of care and assistance. Despite a substantial and well‐established commitment in the area of …
Creatividad en Trabajo Social: el estímulo que necesitamos
2012
La creatividad se inserta en la vida diaria de los seres humanos, está presente en la toma de decisiones y en muchas de las cuestiones que plantea el día a día. Y el Trabajo Social no escapa a ello. Todos, en mayor o menor medida, tenemos algo de creativos, porque la creatividad, como un hijo, se cría, se educa, se orienta y finalmente alcanza la madurez. Mediante este artículo, es mi deseo poder transmitir a los trabajadores sociales la necesidad de introducir la creatividad en nuestra práctica diaria, como herramienta potente que dé un nuevo aire a nuestra profesión. La creatividad nos permite poner en marcha nuevos métodos, combatir el síndrome de quemado. Nos ayuda a crear espacios abie…
Geneza profesjonalizacji polskich służb społecznych
2017
Artykuł jest kontynuacją rozważań o tożsamości i historii polskich służb społecznych. W szczególności nawiązuje do zagadnień związanych z genezą i początkami formowania się systemu edukacyjnego pracowników społecznych. Pamięć o początkach jest nieodzownym elementem myślenia o przyszłości w teraźniejszości. Kreowanie rozwiązań dla przyszłości bez szacunku dla dorobku przeszłości niesie liczne ryzyka błędów, które są doświadczeniem minionych pokoleń. Oznacza także ryzyko zaniechania w rozwoju sprawdzonych rozwiązań, które wpisują się w specyfikę rodzimych uwarunkowań społecznych, kulturowych czy mentalnych. Historia jest bowiem doskonałą nauczycielką dla współczesnych aktywistów zaangażowanyc…
