Critical Social Work - Practice Models

Practice Models

Some of the practice theories that critical social work utilises include:

  • Working collectively
  • Building cooperation and consciousness
  • Helping people to understand the social consequences of the market system
  • Helping people deal collectively with social problems rather than individualising them
  • Making alliances with working class organisations and recognise social workers as ‘workers’ themselves
  • Civil disobedience, such as the intentional and surreptitious violation of agency policies that perpetuate capitalist oppression

    It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them.

    ... your problem is your role models were models.
    Jane Wagner (b. 1935)
