Abstract

In the article on the basis of the new global definition of social work it is proposed that there be a redefining of the Institute of Social Work functions, the reorientation of the profession towards social development, social justice and achieving people's well-being. This would also include the empowerment and liberation of individuals and social groups due to the changed socio-economic conditions. This rethinking converges collectivist and individualistic approaches in social work. Further, it requires an updating of the scientific and academic basis of the profession and recognizes the need for the orientation of the profession to the macro-level. This in turn leads to the adoption of a setting where the responsibility for social disasters faced by individuals and social groups is shared both by themselves and society as a whole. The critical rethinking of the consequences of this shift from individualistic approaches in social work to the understanding of the importance of collectivist solutions leads to the need of strengthening social work ties within the complex of socio-humanitarian disciplines, especially sociology. In the context of the new global definition, social work can be considered a part of applied sociology. As a profession, social work requires defining of how its theory, academic disciplines and technologies comply with new ideas in the global space of the modern world. An updated rereading of the global definition and its consequences will define guidelines to address contemporary issues based on the expansion of the social worker's role in society. This is especially important for Russian social work, which is currently expanding the scope of its activities, while embracing new technologies and approaches. The original language of this article is Russian.
