Neoliberalism can be described as an economic-political project of capitalist elites which involves the following: economization of all areas of life, privatization, economic globalization and deregulation. The article will give a short historical overview of the development of neoliberalism, the myths and tenets of the new neoliberal ideology and the »manufacturing of consent« (Herman and Chomsky, 1994). Additionally, the article will describe the consequences for social policy and social work, which include the reduction of the welfare state and a development that can be outlined with the following key terms: economization of social work, work-fare instead of welfare. Finally the article will describe the reaction of social work on this development. Some necessary anti-strategies will also be discussed. 1 Professor Christian Stark, Ph.D., social worker, e-mail: christian.stark@fh-linz.at Ljetopis socijalnog rada 2018., 25 (1), 39-63. 40 articles INTRODUCTION Since the fall of the Iron Curtain and against the background of a dominant neoliberal ideology, the market has increasingly become the organizational principle for governments and societies. In this context, even social work has been economized and subjected to the logic of market and profit. This is connected to strengthened methods and concepts of business management – the idea of running social work as a private business has made its entry into the field with promises of more effectiveness and efficiency and a more visible improvement of quality in social work. In the analysis of the economic processes within the social work profession since the 1990s, too little attention has been paid to the fact that the focus of efforts is not the wellbeing of the client or an improvement in the quality of the social work, but rather the preservation of resources. The economization of social work is a kind of Trojan horse. Professional social work has been made to follow objectives inimical to the profession: cost saving instead of providing help by promoting conditions of life conducive to the welfare of human beings. Strict housekeeping and costs not a professional diagnosis predominantly determine what is considered to be useful, efficient and feasible; as a rule, making successful savings is placed above success in providing help. In a hermeneutic and descriptive analysis this article highlights the influence of neoliberalism on social work and describes how social workers are reacting to this process. THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT AND POLITICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF NEOLIBERALISM The term neoliberalism often serves as a political catchphrase with different meanings such as an ideological movement, the imperialist expansion of the U.S. or the general trend towards the econom","PeriodicalId":42686,"journal":{"name":"Ljetopis Socijalnog Rada","volume":"43 1","pages":"39-63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80121410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

People and animals have cooperated since ancient times. Animals were used as a means of transport, protection and communication, in hunting, in controlling rodent populations, for sports and entertainment, but also for socialisation. Today, animals are most commonly kept as companion animals. Companion animals are assigned great importance, especially in relation to children, because they help them learn about responsibility, empathy and respecting boundaries. While spending time with animals, children establish social interaction. Animals can be included in helping professions as part of animal-assisted interventions which include all the activities where the animal is used for helping or therapeutic purposes. This paper presents findings on the importance of companion animals among children, as well as on the possibilities of including animal-assisted interventions in working with children and youth.","PeriodicalId":42686,"journal":{"name":"Ljetopis Socijalnog Rada","volume":"60 1","pages":"101-130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77183304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sample consisted of 1,689 prisoners (1,600 men) aged between 18 and 80 years, who came to the Diagnostic Centre in Zagreb in 2013 for a diagnostic treatment. For the purposes of this work, data on gender and educational level of prisoners was used, their age at the time of the diagnostic treatment, the data collected with the Eysenck impulsivity questionnaire (IVE), and data on intelligence collected with the Revised Beta test. In addition, data on earlier prison sentence was used to construct a measure of recidivism. Results of hierarchical binary logistic regression analysis showed that the impulsivity and empathy are significant predictors of the below-chronic recidivist group in an analysis with non-recidivists as a reference group, and that the impulsivity and adventurism are significant predictors of the chronic recidivist group in an analysis with non-recidivists as a reference group. Measured individual characteristics failed to distinguish between chronic recidivists and the below-chronic recidivist group. These results contribute to the understanding of repeated incarceration and provide important guidelines for its treatment and prevention.","PeriodicalId":42686,"journal":{"name":"Ljetopis Socijalnog Rada","volume":"15 1","pages":"539-563"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77102800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As early as in the 1970s and 1980s awareness of the power that stems from these authorisations led to specific conceptual shifts that enabled people to maintain control over their lives despite these interventions. That period saw discussions about the conflict between care and surveillance, a double or even triple mandate of social work, while later on the concepts of empowerment, advocacy, and participatory approaches have developed. The essence of these approaches was to raise awareness of the power used to establish authoritative relationships between experts and beneficiaries that did not allow for problems to be resolved because that would make beneficiaries lose control over their lives. At the moment we are facing a new type of supervision that is no longer linked to the judicial system and legal powers, but is part of social policies, which are becoming more and more repressive. These policies aim at strengthening individual responsibility and an individual’s culpability for the situation he or she is faced with. These policies especially affect the unemployed and the beneficiaries of financial allowances or some other social financial benefits. Consequently, social work is faced with new expectations regarding participation in supervision and in punishing the behaviour and identity of the beneficiary, which leads to significant gaps between theory and practice of social work.","PeriodicalId":42686,"journal":{"name":"Ljetopis Socijalnog Rada","volume":"27 1","pages":"399-414"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82301598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
