Introduction to Social Work SA128S The course addresses the question of how professional social work has developed in a dynamic relationship with society and social policy. Knowledge of the development, financing and decision-making structures of the welfare state are covered. We explore theories of relevance to the tasks social work faces. These are theories that contribute to an understanding of human action, the promotion of development, emancipation, mobilization of power, the relations between individuals, groups and society and the causal relations in which social problems arise and are maintained.
