Tips for the reconfiguration of the professional intervention in social work

Abstract

in this review we bet by projecting the idea of Olga Lucia Vélez (2003) in his book “reconfiguring the social work”: Develop reflections which give display features of a comprehensive, renewed reading and the social work for its holistic discipline, a perspective complex, critical and constructivist; integrate inquiries within the framework of building discipline in social work, University research group of the Salle in Bogotá Colombia. We present contributions on ethical, epistemological and methodological reconfiguration of social services: Vélez (2003, 7-19) proposes think convergent and prospectively from outside and from the inside; strengthen the values and principles from which leads professional action; contribute to understanding and addressing fundamental problems of contemporary, societies with available to reflect on ourselves, challenges, options and possibilities that arduous and complex aspects of reality suggests (ethical dimension). Reorganize specific knowledge, promote open, relevant, relevant and significant knowledge with rigour and critically (new maps cognitive - epistemological dimension-), in which we can accommodate the error and illusion. Strategically display their effectiveness, efficiency and competitiveness, consider the deployment of action (methodological dimension) that conjuguemos global with the particular devices. In social work in Latin America, later the reconceptualization fruit polarizations of speeches and practices on the profession, discipline and professional training, dictatorships contexts; emergence of social sciences, establishment of the neoliberal model, has been to reflect on the vocational Intervencion propositivamente. “Contexts local, national, regional and global demand today resignificar social services; rebuild the exercise, of ético-política and teórico-metodológica, reflection allowing informed interventions, conjuguemos reflection, action and transformation, to influence strategically and relevant in the complexity of the social question, showing high levels of poverty, marginalization, labour flexibility, displacement, immigration, interculturalism, inequalities, inequities, institutions delegitimizing and exclusion of ethnic minorities or political, religious and sexual, among many other aspects of the complex social reality orientations demonstrations permanently” (University of Antioquia, 2008). Gustavo Parra (2005, 89) proposes to take the social work as a professional project with three dimensions: “ético-política, teóricometodológica, operativo-instrumental... inherent and insolvable, articulated together, separated for analytical purposes only”. In this review we do emphasis in three dimensions that today charged vitally important for the professional projection: we provide arguments for ethical, epistemological and methodological, reconfiguration view to respond to changes and contextual paradoxes. This does not mean ignoring the importance of other dimensions as the ideological context, aesthetic, also necessary in understanding and complex consolidation of social services.
