Abstract

The principle of solidarity in modern society is realized by having reliable functioning technologies and professional methods at their disposal to guarantee help and support for the population. As a person-related service, social work is heavily involved in this field. In its history of development important principles, but also paradigmatic shifts in its self-image, which pushed its professionalization forward, can be shown. Today it shows itself to be a modern service sector, which is largely structured on a market economy and accordingly less and less bureaucratic. At the same time, it sees itself (again) increasingly confronted with critical discourses that demand an anti-capitalist and anti-economic positioning. But a realistic view shows that the professional field is facing other, important challenges in order to survive successfully in the modern service society in the future.
