When was social work created?

When did social work originate and how did it first evolve from its beginnings? 2607:F010:2E9:18:B169:AE8C:E763:F6C1 (talk) 00:23, 4 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

an educational resource

i reacently found a website (started by a social worker academic) which is a database of freely available, open source social work textbooks on every course a social worker would need to take from entry all the way to an advnced practice degree. will be useful for building Wikipedia articles. also please spread the word if any social workers you know would benefit.

Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?

For the most part, the article keeps a neutral tone. It presents the history, principles, and goals of social work in a straightforward way without overly emotional or opinionated language. However, it leans more toward highlighting the positive aspects of social work without digging into some of the real challenges and criticisms the field faces. There aren't any major, obvious biases, but the article does paint social work in a mostly idealistic way. It focuses on what social work is supposed to do which is helping people, fighting injustice, and providing support, without really discussing its limitations. There’s little mention of the struggles social workers face, like high burnout rates, underfunded programs, or situations where interventions might not always have positive outcomes. This creates a slightly one-sided perspective, even if it’s not outright biased. Mpostedhat (talk) 00:17, 29 January 2025 (UTC) Mpostedhat (talk) 00:16, 29 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
