Gap-mending niches in institutionalized social work practice and education
- 2018
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The gap-mending concept has been developed within the network of PowerUs(www.powerus.eu). It entails a constant reflection upon what causes and mends gaps between social workers and service users in social work practice, education and research. Within the PowerUs network gap-mending practices have been developed where more reciprocal relationships are aimed for, in joint development projects.The principles of these practices are similar to those found in research about good practice in recovery of mental illness, and in - so called - strength based social work, that emphasizes the importance of enabling niches, rather than an emphasis on categorizing and diagnosing personal problems.In this presentation we want to discuss the result of a study, where 150 former students have been interviewed a few years after having taken an experimental course – the Mobilization course – in the School of Social Work, Lund University. The course has been given since 2005 and gives the opportunity for two student groups, social work students and students recruited in service user organizations to learn from each other and develop projects of good practice together. In the study we wanted to find out how the course had affected them in their future carriers, and what possibilities or obstacles they experienced in developing gap-mending practices.

Gapmending strategies: Impact on social workers occupational practice
- 2017
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Gapmending strategies: Impact on social workers occupational practiceGap-mending is a concept, which is used to create reflection and analysis of gaps that exist between different actors in social work. The gaps can be explicit or implicit distinctions between individuals, groups or organisations in Social Work. The gap-mending concept is not a specific model or method, but should be seen as an analytical approach or strategy that can be used in contexts where people meet in common efforts to resolve problems and prevent gaps. Since 2005, the School of Social Work at Lund University has given a social work course whiuch is based on the Gap-mending concept. On the course social work students and people from different service user organisations study together. The course is titled the Mobilising course. Between 2005 and 2016 the Mobilisation course has been given 20 times.

Mend the Gap. A Paradigm shift of the Roles in Social Work Practice
- 2015
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The dichotomous roles client/ social worker is often portayed as the client having problems, and the social worker knowing the solutions. Reciprocity is limited in traditional social work practice in Sweden. The organizational framing seldom offer good potentials for common ground, inclusion or co-production.Since 2005 the traditional roles in social work practice have been challenged in an experimental course at the School of Social Work at Lund University. Within this course social work students study together with students that has been recruited in different service user organizations. They learn from each other and develop project ideas together for a better social work practice. Since the start, sixteen six week courses has been held and approximately six houndred students have taken the course.In this presentation we want to present some findings on how trust can replace prejudices and how a heterogenous group can generate creativity and mutual empowerment. To change the framing of how social work should be performed and the roles that goes with it, into a model that is more reciprocal and inclusive, is a process that can take time and that depends on several factors. We will also discuss the need for an alternative role for professionals in social work practice.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The gap-mending concept is an analytical tool that helps teachers and researchers in social work to reflect upon what, in their practice, increases, maintains or mends gaps between professionals and service user groups. The article suggests a theoretical background on how gaps in social work practice can be challenged. This includes theories about power and recognition. It then moves on to describe the development of gap-mending strategies in research and education at the School of Social Work at Lund University. Lund University was one of three partners that took the initiative to the international network PowerUs that has focused on gap-mending strategies in social work education. The authors have been working over 10 years in collaboration with service user participation in the education of social workers and in different research projects. In the article, they give examples of gap-mending practices and of challenges that they have faced. The first example is an experimental course that has been given since 2005 where social work students study together with students from service user organizations in a university course. The second example is an attempt to combat homelessness in several Swedish municipalities. Supported by researchers, the development project has been a collaboration between homeless groups, politicians and social workers.
