Abstract
How does critical engagement with the concept of individualism as it relates to social work take on a European dimension? Is there anything specifically European about a social work which elevates a particular conception of the individual? The common conditions within and between European societies for the emergence of social work have at least what can be called complex socio-cultural and economic dimensions resulting in two distinct organizational complexes that are significant in the development of modernity: the nation-state and systematic capitalist production
