The article shows the influence of neoliberalism on social work and tries to give answers following the International Federation of Social Work (IFSW) Code of Ethics (4.2.4 social justice Challenging unjust policies and practices). Neoliberalism can be described as an economic-political project of capitalist elites which involves the following: economization of all areas of life, privatization, economic globalization and deregulation. The article will give a short historical overview of the development of neoliberalism, the myths and tenets of the new neoliberal ideology and the »manufacturing of consent« (Herman and Chomsky, 1994). Additionally, the article will describe the consequences for social policy and social work, which include the reduction of the welfare state and a development that can be outlined with the following key terms: economization of social work, work-fare instead of welfare. Finally the article will describe the reaction of social work on this development. Some necessary anti-strategies will also be discussed. 1 Professor Christian Stark, Ph.D., social worker, e-mail: christian.stark@fh-linz.at Ljetopis socijalnog rada 2018., 25 (1), 39-63. 40 articles INTRODUCTION Since the fall of the Iron Curtain and against the background of a dominant neoliberal ideology, the market has increasingly become the organizational principle for governments and societies. In this context, even social work has been economized and subjected to the logic of market and profit. This is connected to strengthened methods and concepts of business management – the idea of running social work as a private business has made its entry into the field with promises of more effectiveness and efficiency and a more visible improvement of quality in social work. In the analysis of the economic processes within the social work profession since the 1990s, too little attention has been paid to the fact that the focus of efforts is not the wellbeing of the client or an improvement in the quality of the social work, but rather the preservation of resources. The economization of social work is a kind of Trojan horse.

本文展示了新自由主义对社会工作的影响,并试图根据国际社会工作联合会(IFSW)的道德准则(4.2.4社会正义挑战不公正的政策和做法)给出答案。新自由主义可以被描述为资本主义精英的经济-政治项目,它涉及以下内容:生活所有领域的经济化,私有化,经济全球化和放松管制。本文将对新自由主义的发展、新自由主义意识形态的神话和信条以及“同意的制造”进行简短的历史概述(赫尔曼和乔姆斯基,1994)。此外,文章将描述社会政策和社会工作的后果,其中包括福利国家的减少和可以用以下关键术语概述的发展:社会工作的经济化,工作-票价而不是福利。最后,文章将描述社会工作对这一发展的反应。一些必要的反策略也将被讨论。1 Christian Stark教授,博士,社会工作者,e-mail: christian.stark@fh-linz.at Ljetopis socijalnog rada 2018。生态学报,25(1),39-63。自铁幕倒塌以来,在新自由主义意识形态占主导地位的背景下,市场日益成为政府和社会的组织原则。在这样的背景下,即使是社会工作也被经济化,服从于市场和利润的逻辑。这与企业管理方法和理念的加强有关——将社会工作作为私营企业经营的理念已经进入该领域,并承诺提高社会工作的有效性和效率,并使社会工作的质量得到更明显的改善。在分析20世纪90年代以来社会工作行业的经济过程中,人们很少注意到这样一个事实:努力的重点不是客户的福祉,也不是社会工作质量的提高,而是资源的保存。社会工作的经济化是一种特洛伊木马。专业的社会工作一直遵循对专业不利的目标:节省成本,而不是通过促进有利于人类福利的生活条件来提供帮助。严格的内务管理和费用,而不是专业的诊断,主要决定什么是有用的、有效的和可行的;作为一个规则,成功的储蓄比成功的提供帮助更重要。在解释学和描述性分析中,本文强调了新自由主义对社会工作的影响,并描述了社会工作者如何对这一过程做出反应。新自由主义的历史发展和政治实施新自由主义一词经常被用作政治口号,具有不同的含义,如意识形态运动,美国的帝国主义扩张或社会经济化的总趋势。新自由主义的字面意思是一种新的自由主义。旧经济自由主义出现在18世纪末19世纪初的盎格鲁-撒克逊国家。它获得了理论基础,并在亚当·斯密和他的著作《国民财富的性质和原因的研究》中取得了突破。斯密主张废除政府对经济事务的干预,并主张自由市场是国家经济发展的最佳途径。斯密的中心论点是,所有经济活动的引擎都是人类的自身利益。供求原则和所谓的市场看不见的手是导致成功和财富的监管原则(史密斯,1976)。这是新自由主义的参考框架。C. Stark:新自由主义意识形态,它的矛盾,对社会的后果和挑战……第41条新自由主义经济学家批评国家对自由市场缺乏制度保护和框架,将市场经济转变为市场社会。1929年的大萧条和随后在20世纪30年代发生的世界经济危机标志着自由主义时代的结束。考虑到这场危机,市场自我监管的想法不应该得到支持。1936年,约翰·梅纳德·凯恩斯在他的《就业、利息和货币通论》中设计了一个理论,挑战自由主义作为最佳经济政策的地位。凯恩斯指出,资本主义的缺陷在于市场无法建立一个有效的生产和分配系统,以确保整个人口的安全。鉴于这种无能,国家对市场的补充性干预是必要的(Wilke, 2002: 30-126)。凯恩斯的理论为未来30年的经济政策指明了新的方向,并成为著名的凯恩斯主义。 在个人层面上,新自由主义的普遍观点是,每个人都是管理自己财富的企业家

The symbiotic nature of the animal-human relationship has been evident and constant throughout history, and research shows that it is not based on a simple relation of mutual benefit, but that these relationships can also include emotional and social components. People and animals have cooperated since ancient times. Animals were used as a means of transport, protection and communication, in hunting, in controlling rodent populations, for sports and entertainment, but also for socialisation. Today, animals are most commonly kept as companion animals. Companion animals are assigned great importance, especially in relation to children, because they help them learn about responsibility, empathy and respecting boundaries. While spending time with animals, children establish social interaction. Animals can be included in helping professions as part of animal-assisted interventions which include all the activities where the animal is used for helping or therapeutic purposes. This paper presents findings on the importance of companion animals among children, as well as on the possibilities of including animal-assisted interventions in working with children and youth.

The aim of this paper was to explore whether some individual characteristics (intelligence, impulsivity, adventurism, and empathy) predict membership in the group of criminal offenders with different intensities of prison sentence recidivism (non-recidivists, below-chronic recidivists, and chronic recidivists). The sample consisted of 1,689 prisoners (1,600 men) aged between 18 and 80 years, who came to the Diagnostic Centre in Zagreb in 2013 for a diagnostic treatment. For the purposes of this work, data on gender and educational level of prisoners was used, their age at the time of the diagnostic treatment, the data collected with the Eysenck impulsivity questionnaire (IVE), and data on intelligence collected with the Revised Beta test. In addition, data on earlier prison sentence was used to construct a measure of recidivism. Results of hierarchical binary logistic regression analysis showed that the impulsivity and empathy are significant predictors of the below-chronic recidivist group in an analysis with non-recidivists as a reference group, and that the impulsivity and adventurism are significant predictors of the chronic recidivist group in an analysis with non-recidivists as a reference group. Measured individual characteristics failed to distinguish between chronic recidivists and the below-chronic recidivist group. These results contribute to the understanding of repeated incarceration and provide important guidelines for its treatment and prevention.

Social work in Slovenia and elsewhere is traditionally connected to surveillance, whether directly linked to the work of the courts (juvenile courts, divorces, etc.) or authorised to disturbing people’s privacy without their consent (e.g. removing children from families, their placement in foster families, etc.). As early as in the 1970s and 1980s awareness of the power that stems from these authorisations led to specific conceptual shifts that enabled people to maintain control over their lives despite these interventions. That period saw discussions about the conflict between care and surveillance, a double or even triple mandate of social work, while later on the concepts of empowerment, advocacy, and participatory approaches have developed. The essence of these approaches was to raise awareness of the power used to establish authoritative relationships between experts and beneficiaries that did not allow for problems to be resolved because that would make beneficiaries lose control over their lives. At the moment we are facing a new type of supervision that is no longer linked to the judicial system and legal powers, but is part of social policies, which are becoming more and more repressive. These policies aim at strengthening individual responsibility and an individual’s culpability for the situation he or she is faced with. These policies especially affect the unemployed and the beneficiaries of financial allowances or some other social financial benefits. Consequently, social work is faced with new expectations regarding participation in supervision and in punishing the behaviour and identity of the beneficiary, which leads to significant gaps between theory and practice of social work.
