520 _aThis article narrates the development of social work practice in Hong Kong during the last more than half a century. As in other British colonies, social work was first known as a profession in Hong Kong when Western international relief organizations established offices here after the end of World War II. While social work has always been seen as a Western introduction, both overseas and locally trained social workers in Hong Kong are conscious that they are practicing in a society with a strong tradition of Chinese culture and there is also a different view towards the concept of welfare. Other than examining how social workers in Hong Kong have adapted Western developed theories to the solution of local problems in a Chinese society, this article concludes with a discussion of the influence that social workers and social work educators in Hong Kong have made on the development of social work in mainland China.
520 _a本文敘述了半個多世紀前社會工作在香港的發展。 如同在其它英國殖民地一樣, 當第二次世界大戰結束後西方國際援助組織在香港成立辦事處, 社會工作在香港才首度被視為一個專業。 社會工作通常被看作為由西方引進的產物, 在本地或海外受訓的香港社會工作者均意識到他們在社區從事社會工作時, 有著強烈的中國文化傳統, 同時對福利概念有著不同的觀點。 除了研究香港社會工作者如何適用西方的成熟理論, 以解決在中國社會發生的本土問題外, 本文還討論了香港社會工作者及社會工作教育工作者如何影響中國內地社會工作的發展。
