Read the passage given below and answer the following questions (71-75) as per
understanding of the passage :
The need for an alternative to conventional social work is more obvious today than
ever before. Given its acceptance of our present social order and its emphasis on
reform of the individual and limited social reform, conventional social work appears
powerless to deal with the increasing social problems that have already overloaded a
diminishing welfare state.
With the social discontent fomented in the 1960s, social workers were critiqued as
being a part of the problem by choosing to emphasize casework as a model of
practice, an approach that perpetuated the pathologizing of clients. Furthermore,
social workers were viewed as helping clients to “accept and adapt to basically
unjust social structures” with the profession being “nothing else but a professionally
elitist activity that mystified, infantilized and disempowered clients”.
Structural social work reveals the shortcoming of welfare capitalism as a social
system and shows how conventional social work has failed to respond to systemic
social problems. The structural model demands that social workers “abandon their
social control function to involve themselves in institutional and structural change”.
Emphasis shifted to seeking more collaborative, dialogical relationships, rather than
top-down, expert models with service users.
Structural social work is part of a critical, progressive tradition that has been
concerned with the broad socio-economic and political dimensions of society,
especially the effects of capitalism, and the impact of these influences in creating
unequal relations amongst individuals. Its primary goals have been to reduce social
inequality through the transformation of Western, Euro-Centric civilizations and the
emancipation of those who have been oppressed. The lens of this theoretical
approach has been focused on the interplay between the agency of individuals
and structures, particularly the broad structural barriers which influence and limit the
material circumstances of service users.
Structural social work theory begins from a conflict, rather than an order perspective.
The theory regards society as composed of groups with conflicting interests who
compete for resources, power, and the imposition of their own ideological views. In
this perspective, social problems are more the result of “defective rules” which
pathologize those who are marginalized and the consequence of institutional
arrangements which maintain social hierarchies, rather than faulty socialization of
individuals.
Structures refer to “social regularities and objective patterns external to individual
action, intentions, and meanings, and not reducible to the sum of those meanings or
actions”, specifically both institutional arrangements and broad social relational
patterns such as racism and sexism.
