From Subsistence by Borrowing to Deep Integration:The Migration and Ten-dency of the Position of Social Work System
Since the restoration and reconstruction of China's social work,it has stepped out of an embedded development path and formed an inseparable link with the sys-tem.At the beginning of the restoration and reconstruction of social work in China,social work was integrated into the practice of civil affairs and other related liveli-hood services,and the original administrative social work was professionalized.However,with the deepening of the reform of the political and economic system,the path of entering the internal development of the system in a professional way has not been implemented,but the development of the way outside the government system to undertake government purchases or social services.This development path is called the"embedded"development model.By analyzing the development of China's social work from the perspective of an institutional position,it can be found that the embedded development of China's social work is a way to survive by borrowing from the system,and social work ob-tains the dependent institutional position to carry out professional practice.Social work has developed professional services through the government's purchase of ser-vices and positions,and has gradually been subjugated into"institutionalized"man-agement.This process obtains the legitimacy of social work practice by virtue of the strength of institutional position,obtains the practice space at the grassroots level of society and related industries,and obtains the development opportunity in the field of social service.To some extent,this embedded way of borrowing from the system meets the basic needs of the social work profession,and also fulfills the mission of the social work profession.However,the embedded way of borrowing from the system does not solve the problem of the marginalization of the social work system;instead,it alienates social work in the marginalization situation.In practice,it is often practiced administra-tively by the bureaucratic system of the formal system and engaged in administrative affairs other than professional services.In the purchase of services,the practice con-tent and action space of social work are also limited,and the content and scope of professional services are limited.Furthermore,the professional autonomy of social work is restricted and damaged.In addition,social work itself fails to pay attention to the social environment and structure of practice and fails to actively explore how to enter the institutional position,which ultimately puts social work at the edge of the institutional position.The establishment of the Society Work Department brought about a new change in the environment for the development of professional social work when social workers failed to obtain a suitable institutional position.In order to cope with this change,the key to the deep integration of social work into the sys-tem is to effectively integrate its professionalism into the current practice process of relevant Party and government departments.In particular,I want to realize organic integration with the relevant work of the Society Work Department,find its own po-sition within the system,and realize the professional mission and development.
