So far, service users have not been systematically involved in social work theorizing. However, disabled peoples's movements, mental health service users/survivors and other service users have developed their own knowledges based on direct experience and they have generated their own conceptual frameworks and bodies of theory. There are fundamental problems in social work seeking to interpret service user knowledges. Their developments and interpretation require the direct involvement of service users and their organization in social work theorizing. There are strong practical, philosophical and political arguments for involving the knowledges and theories of service users and their organizations in the process of social work theory-building. This paper considers an inclusive approach to social work theorizing. While highlighting the importance of service users and their organizations being effectively included in social work theorizing, it also argues the need for them to have support and opportunities to develop their own prior and separate discussions about theory, including social work theory.
到目前为止,服务用户尚未系统地参与社会工作理论的构建。然而,残障人士运动、精神健康服务用户/幸存者以及其他服务用户基于直接经验发展了自己的知识,并生成了自己的概念框架和理论体系。在社会工作试图解读服务用户知识时存在根本性的问题。这些发展和解读需要服务用户及其组织的直接参与。将服务用户及其组织的知识和理论纳入社会工作理论构建过程中,有着强有力的实践、哲学和政治论据。本文考虑了一种包容性的方法来进行社会工作理论构建。虽然强调了服务用户及其组织在社会工作理论构建中有效参与的重要性,但它也论证了他们需要获得支持和机会,以发展自己独立和优先的理论讨论,包括社会工作理论。
