Social Work and the Third World

Abstract

Instead of following the Western model of professional social work, social workers in the third world should pursue a developmental and institutional orientation in which rapid structural change and socioeconomic improvement are assigned central significance. A broadly and humanely defined notion of development is proposed as the organizing frame- work for both social work practice and social work education in the third world. Implications of adopting a developmental model of social work are indicated.
