[Professional training of social workers/social educators for disability work/rehabilitation - ten theses for a curricular concept (author's transl)].

Disability work/rehabilitation is an extensive and multiform field of work in which diverse scientific disciplines, fields of expertise, and specialists (but also "laymen") combine in team work. Social workers/social educators, trained at special professional training colleges but at the present time still rather insufficiently prepared for working in the disability/rehabilitation field, have an important contribution of their own to be made in this team. The present paper puts forward for discussion ten theses concerned with professional training of social workers/social educators for work in the disability/rehabilitation field. The objectives of such training must be to qualify for appropriate action in the disability/rehabilitation field. This action must: --bring to bear the specific contribution of social work/social education, --be based on sound professional knowledge, --include "cognitive", "affective", and "actional" dimensions, --be aware of its own positions and objectives, --be characterised by client-centredness, and willingness as well as the ability to cooperate, --be committed, independent, and responsible.
