1	Den välvilliga professionen : En undersökning av välvilja i det sociala arbetet / The profession of good intentions : An examination of social work’s most important value Rydqvist, Miranda January 2024 (has links) Social work's wish to do good is situated in the core of the profession, and doing good and helping others is the reason that attracts people to social work in the first place. But what does the profession consider to be good and kind social work? Good intentions and kindness are often connected to the professions values but values shift and differ over time and circumstances, so does the work itself. This literature study attempts to use the framework established by Leslie Margolin to capture what the profession views as a kind and well intended work, question its motives and analyze the findings through a critical lens. The study comprises a seemingly varied material to try to show how good intentions can be found in all aspects of social work. Good intentions are an integral part of how social work understands itself on several different levels, but at the same time the idea of good intentions as a professional value seems to create a disconnect from its professional expertise. good intentions kindness professional values social work social work practise value goda avsikter socialt arbete professionella värderingar välvilja värderingar Social Sciences Samhällsvetenskap Social Work Socialt arbete
