利他使群:社会工作本质的中国表述

Altruism and Make Social:Chinese Expression of Essence of Social work

社会工作自进入中国本土以来,就以"助人自助"的本质表述开展理论指引与实践推进。随着社会工作本土化的不断深入,理论与实务界对"助人自助"的理解不断加深,学界对此提出诸多质疑。本文在回应这些质疑的基础上,结合中国社会工作的理论研究与实践探索,对社会工作本质做出了中国本土的话语表述:利他使群。一方面在于概括中国社会工作实践的经验及探索未来发展的方向,另一方面也试图在克服西方话语基础上做出适合本土文化要求的社会工作本质的中国表述。
