论社会工作的功能:一个结构功能主义的分析视角

On the Function of Social Work——A Structural Functionalism Perspective of Analysis

遵循结构功能主义的思维路径,对社会工作功能的理解应该按照从小的子系统到大的社会系统的递进关系,从个体、群体和社会三个层面来考察。社会工作的个体层面功能主要包括人格塑造、情绪调节、行为转化三种功能;社会工作的群体层面功能主要包括目标导向、规范约束、价值整合三种功能;社会工作的社会层面功能主要包括社会整合、社会导进两种功能。

Abiding by the thought approach of structural functionalism, the understanding of the function of social work should be inspected progressively from small subsystem to big social system, including three layers： individuals, groups, and society. Individual functions of social work mainly include three functions： personality shaping, emotion reg- ulation, behavioral tmnformation; group functions of social work mainly include three functions： goal orientation, regulation restraint, and value integration; social functions of social work mainly includes two functions： social integrating, social directing.
