De la intervención a la sanación social. La evolución del Trabajo Social: una mirada irracional [From Intervention to Social Healing. Social Work Evolution: An Irrational Consideration]

Centuries have passed from the establishment of a vision as dominant and current as positivism, which has displayed in all disciplinary viewpoints a position to reason, to argue, and to intervene in all that emanates from reality (so called problems or social needs). However, these speeches find their limits today the moment it is recognized that we live complex realities; understood as those realities that require greater references, theoretical support, reflections from knowledge societies to be explained or reflected uponWhere a linear discourse is already insufficient; requiring transversal, integrative and holistic looks, in one word: irrational looks that consider the whole, as a unity, and not as the fragmentation of pieces. Even considerations from other fields are required, such as the spiritual, theological, esoteric, wisdom of ancient people, or ancestral towns, to provide us with all that millenary wisdom necessary to understand and attend to those situations from their origin, from the very humanity of the subjects. In this sense, this article exposes the need to develop the forms of social care, bringing them to their next level, that leads us from the traditional social intervention, to a healing of the individuals, from a new, more evolved position that can be assumed by the social work professionals themselves.
