Description
Summary:The historical and epistemological origins of social work have reached Spain from the United States. And they have done so in a biased way. Traditionally, literature has favored a certain way of understanding the profession and the discipline which stems from the Charity Organization Society (COS) and the case work which was eventually systematized by Mary Ellen Richmond. In this article, we analyze, after a bibliographical and documentary revision, the tradition inaugurated by Jane Addams in the USA, in the Hull House Settlement, where she developed community and group social work. We will consider the coincidences between Addams and Richmond, especially in their biographies, and their divergences, in particular in their way of envisaging social work.
Los fundamentos históricos y epistemológicos del origen del trabajo social han llegado a España desde Estados Unidos y de forma sesgada. Tradicionalmente la literatura ha privilegiado una forma de comprender la profesión y la disciplina derivados de la Charity Organization Society (COS) y del case work que acabó por sistematizar Mary Ellen Richmond. En este artículo analizamos, a partir de una revisión bibliográfica y documental, la tradición estadounidense que inauguró Jane Addams, en el settlement llamado Hull House, donde desarrolló un trabajo social grupal y comunitario. Profundizamos en las coincidencias entre Addams y Richmond, en especial en sus biografías, y en sus divergencias, en particular, en su forma de concebir el trabajo social.
