Trabajo social y complejos sociales: aportes para pensar los procesos de intervención profesional

Abstract

This work, carried out within the postgraduate doctoral study framework, shows some of theresults achieved up to now concerning the relationship between Social Work, job category andsocial complexities. Through the judgment of Georg Lukács, we seek to reflect about work as afoundational activity of social being and its distinction with social complexities, which aim to acton social relationships. As from these discussions, the intention is to understand why Social Workis a social complexity and how, through the apprehension of its peculiarities, teleological attitudesaiming to build professional intervention strategies overcoming promptness and the mere institutionalclaims may be developed.
