In the late 1880s, a new system to provide aid for social ills came in to being, which became known as the settlement movement The settlement movement focused on the causes of poverty through the "three Rs" - Research, Reform, and Residence They provided a variety of services including educational, legal, and health services These programs also advocated changes in social policy Workers in the settlement movement immersed themselves in the culture of those they were helping In America, the various approaches to social work led to a fundamental question - is social work a profession?,… Even as many schools of social work opened and formalized processes for social work began to be developed, the question lingered In 1915, at the National Conference of Charities and Corrections, Dr Abraham Flexner spoke on the topic "Is Social Work a Profession?" He contended that it was not because it lacked specialized knowledge and specific application of theoretical and intellectual knowledge to solve human and social problems This led to the professionalization of social work, concentrating on case work and the scientific method New words - affliction (n) : khổ sở - stipend (v) : thu nhập thức : nghèo đói - evangelism (n) : truyền giáo - alleviate (v) : làm dịu - chaplain (n) : cha tuyên uý - feudalism (n) : chế độ phong kiến - almoner (n) : người phát chẩn - impotent (adj) : yếu đuối - rescue (n) : cứu trợ - ameliorate (v) : cải thiện - asylum (n) : nơi an toàn - usher (v) : mở - secular (n) : tục - denomination (n) : nhóm tơn giáo - sectarian (n) : bè phái - mission (n) : nhiệm vụ - dogmatic (n) : giáo điều - charity (n) : lòng từ thiện - piety (n) : lòng mộ đạo - poverty (n) EXERCISES A COMPREHESION QUESTIONS I Match the definitions in column B with the words in column A: A piety charity alleviate poverty feudalism sorted impotent ameliorating usher B a- a system based on the relationships between the lord and those subject to him b- arrange sth in groups c- begin d- being poor e- beliefs and teachings f- causing improvement g- giving help to the needy h- help 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 leap affliction denomination stipend chaplain evangelism rescue asylum secular trace back linger i- hospital k- lessen / make easier to be endured l- name, type, classification m- not concerned with religious affairs n- obedience, faithfulness o- pay monthly salary p- person working in a church q- rapid increase r- the cause of continued pain of body or mind s- weak t- be unwilling to leave u- derive from II Answer the following questions 1- When did the Christian church have vast influence on European society? 2- When was social work seen as a profession or pursuit? 3- Why was there an increase in social activism in the 19th century? 4- What is “three Rs’? 5- What led to the professionalization of social work, concentrating on case work and the scientific method?

This debate can be traced back to the early 20th century debate between Mary Richmond's Charity Organization Society (COS) and Jane Addams's Settlement House Movement The essence of this debate was whether the problem should be approached from COS' traditional, scientific method focused on efficiency and prevention or the Settlement House Movement's immersion into the problem, blurring the lines of practitioner and client B GRAMMAR: Questions - simple past tense  Make questions for the underlined parts 1- This charity was in the form of direct relief 2- The movement began primarily in the United States and England 3- There was a great leap in technological and scientific achievement 4- Chaplains or almoners were appointed to administrate the church's mission to the poor 5- Jane Addams was a founder of the U.S Settlement House movement LESSON TYPES OF SOCIAL WORK 3.1 Child, family, and school social workers Child, family, and school social workers provide social services and assistance to improve the social and psychological functioning of children and their families and to maximize the well-being of families and the academic functioning of children They may assist single parents, arrange adoptions, or help find foster homes for neglected, abandoned, or abused children Some specialize in services for senior citizens These social workers may run support groups for the children of aging parents; advise elderly people or family members about housing, transportation, long-term care, and other services; and coordinate and monitor these services Through employee assistance programs, social workers may help people cope with job-related pressures or with personal problems that affect the quality of their work In schools, social workers often serve as the link between students’ families and the school, working with parents, guardians, teachers, and other school officials to ensure students reach their academic and personal potential In addition, they address problems such as misbehavior, truancy, and teenage pregnancy and advise teachers on how to cope with difficult students Increasingly, school social workers teach workshops to entire classes Child, family, and school social workers may also be known as child welfare social workers, family services social workers, child protective services social workers, occupational social workers, or gerontology social workers They often work for individual and family services agencies, schools, or State or local governments 3.2 Medical and public health social workers Medical and public health social workers provide psychosocial support to people, families, or vulnerable populations so they can cope with chronic, acute, or terminal illnesses, such as Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, or AIDS They also advise family caregivers, counsel patients, and help plan for patients’ needs after discharge from hospitals They may arrange for at-home services, such as meals-on-wheels or home care Some work on interdisciplinary teams that evaluate certain kinds of patients - geriatric or organ transplant patients, for example Medical and public health social workers may work for hospitals, nursing and personal care facilities, individual and family services agencies, or local governments 3.3 Mental health and substance abuse social workers Mental health and substance abuse social workers assess and treat individuals with mental illness or substance abuse problems, including abuse of alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs Such services include individual and group therapy, outreach, crisis intervention, 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Family therapy/Family interventions Forensic social work Group therapy or other group work Immigrant and refugee services and supports International development Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender supports Management B GRAMMAR: Participial phrase Translate into English: 1- CTXH bao gồm công việc giúp đỡ người hoạn nạn 2- CTXH ngành bao gồm nhiều hoạt động khác 3- Nhân viên CTXH tham gia hoạt động liên quan ba cấp độ CTXH 4- Ngành CTXH vĩ mô loại thực hành miêu tả công việc tầm quốc gia hay quốc tế 5- Nhân viên CTXH thuê làm việc lĩnh vực thực hành cộng đồng người làm việc loại CTXH vi mô LESSON 10 CONTEMPORARY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Main article: Social work knowledge building The International Federation of Social Workers states, of social work today, "social work bases its methodology on a systematic body of evidence-based knowledge derived from research and practice evaluation, including local and indigenous knowledge specific to its context It recognizes the complexity of interactions between human beings and their environment, and the capacity of people both to be affected by and to alter the multiple influences upon them including bio-psychosocial factors The social work profession draws on theories of human development and behaviour and social systems to analyze complex situations and to facilitate individual, organizational, social and cultural changes." The current state of social work professional development is characterized by two realities There is a great deal of traditional social and psychological research (both qualitative and quantitative) being carried out primarily by university-based researchers and by researchers based in institutes, foundations, or social service agencies Meanwhile, many social work practitioners continue to look to their own experience for knowledge This is a continuation of the debate that has persisted since the outset of the profession in the first decade of the twentieth century One reason for the gap between information obtained through practice, opposed to through research, is that practitioners deal with situations that are unique and idiosyncratic, while research concentrates on similarities The combining of these two types of knowledge is often imperfect A hopeful development for bridging this gap is the compilation, in many practice fields, of collections of "best practices" which attempt to distill research findings and the experience of respected practitioners into effective practice techniques Although social work has roots in the informatics revolution, an important contemporary development in the profession is overcoming suspicion of technology and taking advantage of the potential of information technology to empower clients New words: - body (n) : tổ chức - indigenous (adj) : địa - capacity (n) : khả - alter (v) : thay đổi - bio-psychosocial (adj): tâm sinh lý - foundation (n) : tổ chức - practitioner (n) : người hành nghề - persist (v) : dai dẳng - outset (v) : bắt đầu - idiosyncratic (adj) : phong cách riêng - compilation (n) : biên soạn - distill (v) : thu - revolution (n) : cách mạng - overcome (v) : khắc phục - empower (v) : trao quyền hành hợp pháp EXERCISES A COMPREHESION QUESTIONS I Give synonyms for the following words: 1- imperfect ………………………………… 2- specific ……………………………… 3- complexity ……………………………… 4- professional ……………………………… 5- similarities ……………………………… II Answer the following questions: 1- What does social work base its methodology on? 2- What are realities by which the current state of social work professional development is characterized?

www.socialworkers.org *The complete text of the NASW Standards for Cultural Competence in Social Work Practice and the NASW Standards for Continuing Professional Education is available on request from NASW or at www.socialworkers.org Adopted by the NASW Board of Directors June 28, 2002 Role of the professional social worker Main article: Role of the professional social worker Professional social workers have a strong tradition of working for social justice and of refusing to recreate unequal social structures The main tasks of professional social workers can include a variety of services such as case management (linking clients with agencies and programs that will meet their psychosocial needs), medical social work, counseling (psychotherapy), human services management, social welfare policy analysis, community organizing, advocacy, teaching (in schools of social work), and social science research Professional social workers work in a variety of settings, including: non-profit or public social service agencies, grassroots advocacy organizations, hospitals, hospices, community health agencies, schools, faith-based organizations, and even the military Some social workers work as psychotherapists, counselors, or mental health practitioners, often working in collaboration with psychiatrists, psychologists, or other medical professionals Social workers may also work independently as private practice psychotherapists in the United States and are able to bill most third party payers such as insurance companies Additionally, some social workers focus their efforts on social policy or conduct academic research into the practice or ethics of social work The emphasis has varied among these task areas by historical era and country Some of these areas have been the subject of controversy as to whether they are properly part of social work's mission A variety of settings employ social workers, including governmental departments (especially in the areas of child and family welfare, mental health, correctional services, and education departments), hospitals, non-government welfare agencies and private practice working independently as counselors, family therapists or researchers JOB OUTLOOK Employment for social workers is expected grow much faster than the average for all occupations through 2016 Job prospects are expected to be favorable, particularly for social workers who specialize in the aging population or work in rural areas Employment change Employment of social workers is expected to increase by 22 percent during the 2006-16 decade, which is much faster than the average for all occupations The growing elderly population and the aging baby boom generation will create greater demand for health and social services, resulting in rapid job growth among gerontology social workers Employment of social workers in private social service agencies also will increase However, agencies increasingly will restructure services and hire more social and human service assistants, who are paid less, instead of social workers Employment in State and local government agencies may grow somewhat in response to growing needs for public welfare, family services, and child protective services, but many of these services will be contracted out to private agencies Employment levels in public and private social services agencies may fluctuate, depending on need and government funding levels Opportunities for social workers in private practice will expand, but growth may be somewhat hindered by restrictions that managed care organizations put on mental health services The growing popularity of employee assistance programs is expected to spur demand for private practitioners, some of whom provide social work services to corporations on a contractual basis However, the popularity of employee assistance programs will fluctuate with the business cycle because businesses are not likely to offer these services during recessions Job prospects Job prospects are generally expected to be favorable Many job openings will stem from growth and the need to replace social workers who leave the occupation However, competition for social worker jobs is expected in cities, where training programs for social workers are prevalent Opportunities should be good in rural areas, which often find it difficult to attract and retain qualified staff By specialty, job prospects may be best for those social workers with a background in gerontology and substance abuse treatment Employment of child, family and school social workers is expected to grow by 19 percent, which is faster than the average for all occupations One of the major contributing factors is the rise in the elderly population Social workers, particularly family social workers, will be needed to assist in finding the best care for the aging and to support their families Furthermore, demand for school social workers will increase and lead to more jobs as efforts are expanded to respond to rising student enrollments as well as the continued emphasis on integrating disabled children into the general school population There could be competition for school social work jobs in some areas because of the limited number of openings The availability of Federal, State, and local funding will be a major factor in determining the actual job growth in schools The demand for child and family social workers may also be tied to the availability of government funding Mental health and substance abuse social workers will grow by 30 percent, which is much faster than the average, over the 2006-16 decade In particular, social workers specializing in substance abuse will experience strong demand Substance abusers are increasingly being placed into treatment programs instead of being sentenced to prison Also, growing numbers of the substance abusers sentenced to prison or probation are, increasingly being required by correctional systems to have substance abuse treatment added as a condition to their sentence or probation As this trend grows, demand will strengthen for treatment programs and social workers to assist abusers on the road to recovery Growth of medical and public health social workers is expected to be 24 percent, which is much faster than the average for all occupations Hospitals continue to limit the length of patient stays, so the demand for social workers in hospitals will grow more slowly than in other areas But hospitals are releasing patients earlier than in the past, so social worker employment in home health care services is growing However, the expanding senior population is an even larger factor Employment opportunities for social workers with backgrounds in gerontology should be good in the growing numbers of assisted-living and senior-living communities The expanding senior population also will spur demand for social workers in nursing homes, long-term care facilities, and hospices However, in these settings other types of workers are often being given tasks that were previously done by social workers Projections data from the National Employment Matrix Projected Occupational SOC Employment
