Military Social Work: A Multi-Country Comparison

In: International social work, Band 46, Heft 4, S. 437-448

Abstract

Social work has a long tradition of service to the military in many countries. How it has developed in each country is unique to the historical development of the military and the country's social work educational infrastructure. This article describes the growing interest in international social work, what military social work practice is and how it has evolved in several countries; outlines a new model for cross-national comparison of military social work evolution; and highlights current trends and future directions for international military social work.
