Current Issues of School Social Work in Japan : From the Historical Relations between School, Social Work, and Counseling

抄録

Since around 2000, we have had some cases of School Social Work (SSW) in Japan. However, we have not discussed why we need SSW. This paper investigated the origin of SSW and the relationship between Social Work, Counseling and School by reviewing the history of SSW after the World War II, and made it clear that "School" and "Social Work" in 1990's were related each other only by administrative procedure. Based on this analysis, we suggest that we should develop SSW as "Collaborative relations" from now on.
