Tegnologiese implikasies van die vervanging van die mediese model vir maatskaplike werk met individueMeistre, Wilhelmina Jacoba 17 February 2014 (has links)
M.A. (Social Work) / The focus of the research of this dissertation was to study the movement away from the use of the medical model in social work. To facilitate the study of this movement, it was necessary for the candidate to familiarize herself with the technology and terminology associated with the medical model originally formulated by Mary Richmond (1922) and later developed by authors like Aptekar (1936), Hollis (1951), Maas (1958) and others as discussed in chapter two. As social work practice moved away from a medical procedure, substitute technology and terminology developed. From an investigation into recent publications on the subject the candidate found that the more recent models for social work practice accommodate the use of substitute technology which includes professional procedures such as assessment, gathering of base line information, the drawing up of contracts, the use of measurement scales and goal orientated helping processes. Examples of such models are included in this dissertation are the models based on life task centeredness, crisis intervention and competency. In these models, assessment is regarded as the appropriate professional activity and a substitute for diagnosis as prescribed in the medical model. As a result of technological changes in social work practice, the candidate became aware of the development of substitute terminology to endorse the technology peculiar to the profession. Medical terms like pathology, problem, symptoms, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, therapist, remediation and patient are replaced by development, dysfunction, indicators, assessment, pre-estimation, intervention or helping, counsellor, and client. The empirical investigation for this dissertation indicates that there is a movement away from medical technology an terminology in the training of undergraduate social work students.

Die teoretiese onderbou van gedragswysiging as proses van hulpverlening in die maatskaplike werkJoubert, Hercules Frederik 28 October 2015 (has links)
M.A. (Social Work) / The function of social work is to enhance the social functioning of individuals, smaller groups (including families) and the community. This implies need meeting and growth-promoting activities for the purposes of reinforcing, enhancing or discouraging inappropriate behavior. In order to achieve success , social workers need to explore every avenue of helping, so that the client with his unique needs are always held in respect and helped the most successfully. Behavior modification, although still underdeveloped in social work, is one of the numerous approaches that can be utilised to meet the needs of the social work clientele ...

Social workers' experiences on the transformation of social welfare from a remedial approach to a developmental approachMashigo, Boipuso Stephina January 2007 (has links)
When the new democratic government came into power, much legislation, policies and strategies were transformed, included was the welfare system that was imbalanced, unjust, discriminatory and inappropriate. It was replaced by a developmental approach that is more just, equitable and appropriate system contained in the White Paper for Social Welfare (1997). Social workers were expected to reform their method of intervention. Consequently, this study will focus on the experiences of social workers as changes were brought into the approaches used in service delivery. The goal of the study is to explore and describe social workers’ experiences on the transformation of social welfare from a traditional remedial approach to a developmental approach. The study was conducted using the qualitative research approach. The research study made use of an explorative, descriptive and contextual design. The researcher used purposive and theoretical non-probability sampling methods to draw the sample. Data was collected through semi- structured interviews. The data was analyzed using Tesch’s eight steps in Creswell (1994:155) and was verified against four criteria that Guba in (Krefting, 1991) developed for testing the trustworthiness of a qualitative study. Based on the findings and conclusion of the study, recommendations were made to the management of the department of social development on how to address the challenges facing social workers on the implementation of the developmental approach. The results will be disseminated by means of a written research report.

A regional study of social welfare measurements (No. 2 : The Fraser Valley) : an exploration of the regional assessment of demographic and social welfare statistics for British Columbia, 1951-1961.Bledsoe, Margaret Yolande January 1963 (has links)
"Regions" and regional development are accepted in British Columbia but there is no co-ordination of the regional boundaries for education, health, welfare, census enumeration, and technical survey districts. The available basic social and welfare data for some regions (in this instance, the Fraser Valley) have been compiled to indicate what these data will reveal about a region, as well as to indicate where there are gaps and discrepancies.
Census materials for the years 1951 and 1961 are the main types of social data, supplemented by some compilations of the Lower Mainland Regional Planning Board because of its special relevance to this region. The monthly reports of the Provincial Department of Social Welfare, dealing with six main areas of social welfare service, are the source of the welfare data, and these are analyzed over a ten-year period. The Department of Social Welfare's regional boundary was accepted in this study as the official regional boundary for the Fraser Valley: Welfare Region VI. Where the census material available did not coincide with this regional boundary, appropriate adjustments were made.
An examination of the social data shows clearly that this is an area undergoing rapid expansion, particularly in terms of urbanization and population increase. Forecasts indicate this will continue. The region itself now contains an urban portion, a portion in transition from rural to urban, and a rural portion. The area has examples of "urban sprawl" and the results of little physical or social planning. The welfare data indicate markedly higher rates of increase than the population increase. Examined together, both sets of data bring problems to light and suggest new areas for investigation. If homogeneity rather than availability of transportation or administrative convenience should be the objective of regional division, there are strong grounds for relating Surrey municipality to Greater Vancouver, which it is becoming increasingly a part, rather than to the agricultural domain of the Valley.
The welfare data is currently measured primarily on the basis of numbers of "cases". Measurement by the number of persons and families served, analyzed along with the special characteristics of each, i.e., age, sex, education, employment history, family structure, and so on, would be more productive for planning, administration, and public information. Also, if these facts were available, they could be related directly to the social data to show which segments of the total population are using welfare services. A review of the present deployment of staff time seems to be indicated, raising the question of "maintenance" service versus a "rehabilitation" focus, and the important question of differentiation of types of cases, and, perhaps, of social work personnel.
This is a beginning study of only one region. For clarification of the issues raised, and to determine the special as well as the common characteristics of this region, other regional analyses are needed, but these should become progressively easier. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate
