The `Social' in Social Work Practice

Shamans and Social Workers

Ho-Yee Ng

Byneglecting the religious dimension, social work practice has not only negated its social roots, but also deprived both client and worker of a valuable source of help. Chinese shamanic healing is contrasted with casework practice and implications are drawn for re-establishing the `social' dimension in social work practice.
