TY - JOUR TI - Znaczenie eugeniki w pracy socjalnej AU - Piekarczyk, Magdalena TI - Znaczenie eugeniki w pracy socjalnej AB - Eugenics and its importance for social work Social work is a unique profession composed of many different aspects and built on interdisciplinary theory. Its perception depends on many factors as well as on a person himself/herself. Social work is based on looking to the future with the person in need. However, it should also look back and learn from history. Eugenics – as an important area to explore – was a threat to people as it focused on improving them by interfering in their lives. As a result, today’s social work professionals work with people with far more psychological problems than they used to have. In order to help them social work should recognize the similarities from the past and (re)build our identity based on the values that will be imperishable.   VL - 2016 IS - Tom 21, numer 3 PY - 2017 SN - 1507-4285 C1 - 2449-6138 SP - 119 EP - 132 DO - 10.4467/24496138ZPS.16.008.6531 UR - https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/zeszyty-pracy-socjalnej/artykul/znaczenie-eugeniki-w-pracy-socjalnej KW - social work KW - eugenics KW - identity
