1 Structural Social Work 1

2 Oppression 2

3 Anti-Oppressive Practice All social relations generate oppression. Everyday experience is shaped by many different forms of oppression Social work is a contested and highly political practice (p.5) Anti-oppressive practice seeks to help individuals AND transform society. Baines

4 Anti-Oppressive Practice (cont) Participatory approaches are necessary. Self-reflexive practice, ongoing analysis. Blending elements from many practice models will lead to best social justice outcomes. Baines,

5 Other Roots Radical Social Work: Socialist Traditional SW is seen as a form of social control that maintains social problems (p.298) Feminist Practice Personal as political Heinonen & Spearman,

6 Maurice Moreau Concerned with the ways in which the rich and powerful in society define and constrain the poor and less powerful Bowen,

7 Structural Social Work, at a Glance Focuses on the impact of wider social structures on personal problems. Meets human needs through structural rather than individual change. Thoroughly examines the environment itself Recognizes that societies are made up of conflicting interests Hick, 2010 Heinonen & Spearman,

8 A Closer Look at Structures Historical, and current economic and political climate Primary Structures: Patriarchy Racism Capitalism Heterosexism Ageism Ableism 8

9 A Closer Look at Structures (cont) Secondary Structures: Personality Family Community Bureaucracy Primary structures of oppression have a greater impact on secondary structures Carniol,

10 Family Community Personality Bureaucracy Patriarchy Racism Capitalism Ageism Heterosexism Ableism 10

11 Conflict Perspective Society is characterized by conflict between groups of people. Differences in power, influence, and access to the good things in life. Heinonen & Spearman,

12 As Moreau Would Say... Social problems are not caused by deficits in communication between individuals and systems as both ecology and systems theory posit. Differential access to power and conflict between systems are the problem and not a lack of mutual fit, reciprocity, interdependence and balance between individuals. Carniol, 1992, p.3 12

13 Social Worker Roles and Processes The Enabler Information sharing Collectivism The Educator Consciousness raising The Advocate Disbursement of resources within the agency, between agencies, complete absence of promised resources Social Activism Heinonen & Spearman, 2010 Wood & Middleman,

14 What is the Process? Residents of a high rise for the elderly have been promised a night security guard but are not given one. Wood & Middleman, 1992, p.54 Consciousness raising Information sharing Collectivism Disbursement of resources 14

15 What is the Process? A client who is seeking to regain custody of her son now that she has a job is empowered by the social worker who tells her, in advance, the assessment criteria that are used to make such determinations. Wood & Middleman, 1992, p.54 Consciousness raising Information sharing Collectivism Disbursement of resources 15

16 What is the Process? A social worker informs a battered woman living in a shelter that she is not to blame for the abuse inflicted upon her by her abusive spouse. Wood & Middleman, 1992, p.55 Consciousness raising Information sharing Collectivism Disbursement of resources 16

17 Structural vs Conventional Social Work Component Structural Conventional Defense of Client Client-Worker Power Unmasking Structures Meet immediate needs, advocacy for rights and greater resources. Egalitarian approach, documents and processes are made transparent to client. Bridges client s immediate problems with primary structures. Client advocacy is minimized (neutral and objective), dispenses resources from structures that are in place. Power differences exist between social worker and client. Intrapsychic approach. Client must adapt to structural oppressions. Carniol,

18 Structural vs Conventional Social Work Component Structural Conventional Personal Change Client assumes responsibility for actions and feelings, solutions shared between client and structure. Personal adjustments made within the dominant framework. Collective Consciousness Political Change Bridges client s needs with others in similar situations, joins groups and movements. Activism by clients and social workers, use of social justice organizations and social movements, strive to develop alternative services, nonviolent. Client s individuality is acknowledged, problems and solutions are attributed to the client (isolating). Follows dominant structure, deems activism as unprofessional. Carniol,

19 Client Conferee Relationship View of client Capable Confronted with insufficient resources, limited opportunity, and decreased means to access supports to change their situation. Wood,

20 Client Conferee Relationship Client and conferee make collaborative decisions Conferee used to reflect that client is teaching them about their life Client has the right to view their file at any time. Counsellor explains therapeutic methods. Client encouraged to challenge the counsellor s understanding of their life Carniol, 1992 Middleman & Wood,

21 Client Conferee Relationship Reduction of power imbalance Talk about use of names Locations that would be best for client to meet Access to therapist Conversation outside of the therapy process Avoidance of use of technical terms Carniol,

22 Accountability Service contract Understanding of what the task is Agreement of worker role Task is to alleviate problem in client s life Wood,

23 ACTIVITY 1. Conduct a Structural Analysis of the case study what are all of the factors & structures we need to consider in this case? 2. How would a Structural Social Worker intervene. - With the individual (micro)? - At a community level (meso)? - At a societal level (macro)? 23

24 Goals Connect client feelings, cognitions, and behaviours to the problem situation and to the impact of oppression Development of social empathy Individualistic interventions vs. collectivistic interventions Personal change Carniol,

25 Empowerment Increased resources Freedom in therapeutic relationship Awareness of oppression Awareness of oppression of others Involvement in Activism Power to change own behaviour Carniol,

26 Criticism of Structural Social Work Political vs. personal change Views on power Static vs. dynamic Power is negative Societal structures are binary Questions morality Subjectivity in practice Difficulties with bottom-up action Carniol, 1992 Weinberg,

27 Why Engage in Structural Social Work? Guideline for ethics in practice Avoids overly pathologizing clients Appropriate within current neo-liberal climate, cutbacks to welfare state Positive outcomes for service users Bowen, 2012 George et. al, 2012 Weinberg, 2008 WHY ELSE? 27

28 What do we think? How did you feel about structural social work at the start of the presentation compared to how you feel about it now? Can you see yourself using it in your practice? Could we apply it within our agencies? How much does the agency dictate opinions? 28

29 What do we think? What is success in a structural model of social work? Big change or sustainability? How ambitious are you as a social worker? How conservative or radical? How could this approach apply in an International context? 29
