Ramírez, E. E. (2001). Historia del Trabajo Social. Plaza y Valdés.
Throughout the book, Ramírez emphasizes the importance of understanding the complex relationships between social work, politics, and social policy. The author argues that social work is not a neutral or technical practice, but rather a profession that is deeply embedded in the social and political context in which it operates. This insight is critical, as it highlights the need for social workers to be aware of the power dynamics and structural inequalities that shape the lives of their clients. Ramírez, E
Ramírez also explores the theoretical and methodological evolution of social work over time. The author discusses the influence of different schools of thought, such as social democracy, Marxism, and neoliberalism, on the development of social work. This analysis allows readers to understand how social work has been shaped by broader ideological and policy trends, and how the profession has adapted to changing social and economic conditions.
