German Society for Systemic Social Work
The German Society for Systemic Social Work (DGSSA) is a scientifically shaped and practice-related association for the promotion of systemic social work. It sees itself as a professional society that has an interest in using systemic thinking beyond therapeutic-advisory relationships and making it fruitful for social work as a whole .
History and goals
The main impetus for founding the DGSSA was the gap between a systemic range of advanced training courses geared towards the therapeutic field of activity and the claim of the Zurich School around Ms. Staub-Bernasconi to speak for systemic social work and at the same time vehemently oppose system-theoretical- to turn constructivist approaches.
The scientific background was based on the internationally recognized system theories that also apply in the Systemic Society (SG) , the German Society for Systemic Therapy, Counseling and Family Therapy (DGSF) and the German Society for Systemic Pedagogy (DGsP).
The association was founded in 1996. Founding members were u. a. University lecturers from Bamberg (W. Hosemann), Freiburg ( Björn Kraus ), Ludwigshafen (W. Krieger), Mannheim (W. Büschges-Abel) and Wiesbaden (E. Ploil).
The activities quickly related to conferences, publications, the certification of systemic social work and job-specific statements and representations. A strategic discussion was the therapeutic treatment of social work and the related question of the relationship with the professional association for social work, the DBSH . Here it was decided that the DGSSA will become a cooperative member of the DBSH. Since then, these advantages can be used.
activities
As an umbrella organization, the DGSSA would like to advance the discourse. Conferences and events on various topics related to systemic social work are offered at universities across Germany. Lectures and internet blogs also contribute to this. The DGSSA is also involved in continuing education as a certification body.
