Non-abusing mothers’ agency after disclosure of the child’s extra-familial sexual abuse
2020
This qualitative study analysed the agency of eight non-abusing mothers in the Turkish Cypriot Community after disclosure that their child had been sexually abused by someone outside the family. The aim was to discover how, after disclosure, such mothers act to protect their children in the contexts of their family and community. The data were gathered via semi-structured in-depth interviews and analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). In the nuclear family context, maternal agency emerged in the form of motherhood skills, including emotionally supporting the abused child, double-checking the child’s safety or limiting the child’s mobility, and controlling the actions…

Relazioni di genere e forme di dominio simbolico. Il caso della professione dell'assistente sociale
2019
The article highlights how the cultural models currently prevalent in some professional contexts in Italy - such as that of social workers - are still influenced by "male domination" (Bourdieu 1998). It develops a gender segregation that reproduces inequalities and asymmetries also in professional contexts traditionally female and imposes professional models based on "gender neutrality", which for the most part disregard relational and communicative skills fundamental in the care professions.
Identità professionale, genere e servizio sociale in ottica internazionale
2016
Il servizio sociale è un lavoro generalmente declinato al femminile. Ciò è un solido dato di realtà riscontrabile in più Paesi, anzi appare come uno stato di cose quasi “universale”, nonostante ciascun Stato abbia costruito nei secoli un Welfare State a misura della sua situazione politica interna e delle sue scelte di politica sociale. Altro dato di realtà è che la preponderanza del genere femminile in questa professione pare talmente “nell’ordine naturale delle cose” da non essere quasi oggetto né di riflessione né di approfondimento, né tantomeno di attenzione nella formazione. Questo si può riscontrare nella letteratura di più Paesi europei e non (Svizzera, Francia, UK, Canada, Belgio, …
General support versus individual work support: a qualitative study of social workers and therapists in collaboration meetings within individual plac…
2020
This study aims to increase understanding of how social workers and therapists contribute to cooperation meetings within the individual placement and support intervention. The individual placement and support model of supported employment is expanding worldwide. Although several quantitative studies have shown this model`s effect, the need for qualitative studies on collaboration within this intervention is evident. The individual placement and support fidelity manual presents clear expectations to the social workers and therapist in the cooperation. Still, few previous studies investigate how these expectations are met in praxis. This study draws on sixteen collaboration meetings, recorded…
Combining Social Service and Healthcare as the First Country in the World : Exploring the Impacts on Information Systems
2018
The Finnish government has decided to implement a reform in the social and healthcare system by combining the two in the future. There are several drivers for this change that have been identified. Large number of information systems that are not interoperable, challenges in data management and isolated service offering are the most significant ones. In the government’s strategy for the future the digitalisation will provide tools to solve these challenges. In this paper the landscape is outlined and the architecture choices are discussed. The enterprise architecture is applied for the largest county comprising of over 1900 social service and healthcare related information systems. The targ…

Trabajo social en el Espacio Europeo supone la recuperación de espacios perdidos
2012
La nuevas orientaciones y reformas universitarias nos obligan a re-pensar el alcance del trabajo social, a redefinir sus ámbitos y desarrollar aspectos de su práctica hacia formas nuevas, que permitan alcanzar mejor los objetivos propios del Trabajo Social, que no son otros que el bienestar individual y familiar y en su caso comunitarios o colectivos, participando de los recursos individuales y sociales, que la propia sociedad genera en favor de sus propios ciudadanos/as y eso de una manera comunicativa, dialógica (democrática) en la que el cliente se sienta, porque lo es, el protagonista del (su) cambio. The new university orientation and reforms force us to rethink the scope of Social Wor…

2017
The professional skills demanded of social workers by contemporary society must unavoidably include the capacity to apply knowledge, to know how to act and acquire the appropriate new competences for listening and taking care of people coming from different cultures. With regard to the training of future generations of social workers it must be remembered that they will have to deal with an increasingly globalized society and face the new demands placed upon the profession by the presence of a greater number of people migrating to Italy in increasingly greater numbers. Teaching experimentation carried out as part of the degree course in Social Work at the University of Palermo over the last…
