Abstract
El objetivo de este estudio es analizar el surgimiento del trabajo social como profesión y su relación con la medicina. Para entender el contexto y los antecedentes de la profesionalización del trabajo social es necesario remontarse al final del siglo XIX. Se utiliza una revisión bibliográfica narrativa de textos clásicos sobre el trabajo social. Se abordan los orígenes del trabajo social y su relación con la medicina progresista de la época. La interacción entre ambas disciplinas pudo suponer una contribución importante de lo que hoy denominamos salud pública. Es comúnmente conocido que la medicina influyó en el trabajo social, pero una revisión cuidadosa de la bibliografía muestra que la influencia fue bidireccional. El trabajo social es una profesión práctica y femenina, relacionada con la reforma y el progreso social, y pudo haber sido olvidada o cooptada por la medicina masculina. Este estudio reflexiona sobre la identidad del trabajo social y su contribución a los determinantes sociales en la salud.
The aim of this study is to analyse the emergence of social work as a profession and its relationship with medicine. It is necessary to go back to the end of the 19th century to understand the context and background of the professionalisation of social work. This study uses a narrative literature review of classical texts on social work to address the origins of both social work and medicine. The interaction between both disciplines made a significant contribution to the discipline we now call public health. It is commonly known that medicine influenced social work, but a careful review of the literature shows that the influence was bidirectional. Social work is a practical and female-dominated profession, related to reform and social progress, and it may have been overlooked or co-opted by male-dominated medicine. This study reflects on the identity of social work and its contribution to the social determinants of health.
