Abstract

In 1968, Spanish social work chose foundational themes related to the professional literature of the time. These topics, in turn, are linked to central concerns of the profession in the United States, dating back to events in 1915 and 1957. This paper explores in detail the key aspects of these debates, as well as the organizational forms in which they took place. Despite the geographic and temporal distance, the materials analyzed reveal a shared professional ethos and connection on both sides of the Atlantic.
