Definicja pracy socjalnej

The term „social work” for the first time appeared in the USA in 1917 in the name of an institution running charity activity. The previously used name National Conference of Charities and Corrections was replaced with the name National Conference of Social Work. This change was caused by the professionalisation of social care which at the beginning of 20th C ceased to be a kind of social charity and started to be a profession. Presently it is a systematic activity of an all-society dimension, oriented onto giving help to another human being.
