Why is it important?

This paper examines different key results, proposes a definition for e-social work, and presents four key recommendations to assist social workers in successfully adopting and implementing ICTs in their daily practice

Perspectives

A society of digital natives demands online social work. Through the last few years we have been working on the different effects of technology in our daily life: I and my coauthors are convinced that social workers have to be at the front line of technology. With this mindset we analize different ways in which online social work interventions have been done, and present key recomendations to develop an effective model of e-social work.
