The important argument explored in this article is women's position in welfare regimes. By examining feminist critiques on the welfare state, we intend to look into whether the welfare state is designed to promote the equal status of both men and women. In the post-war period, it was believed that social provision, together with full employment and rising real wages, would improve the welfare of all citizens. However, women were inevitably treated as second class citizens by the new welfare legislation and were assumed to be economically dependent on their husbands. As a result, though welfare provision plays a significant and liberating role in women's lives in some ways, it may also serve to restrict women by defining them in certain ways. This contradictory situations is especially true in successfully developing third world countries such as Korea. This is because the western welfare state can be misconceived as an idealistic model in which men and women obtain equality in terms of social context.

Therefore, identifying the housing needs of people is an effective way of understanding the housing culture. The purpose of this study was to identify the research trend of housing culture since 1980s until the recent year based on the keywords of previous literature. Seventy-one research articles were analyzed using content analysis as a research method and analysis framework which was composed of 4 aspects - physical, social, psychological, and living/welfare - was drawn for further analysis. As a main result, housing needs in social and living/welfare aspect were increasing as time passes. In general, researches related to physical aspect showed the highest ratio among 4 aspects.

This article investigates 295 social workers in order to find out how much they believe that each behavior related to dual relationships is ethical and with how many clients they engaged in these behaviors. This article, based on the literature, explores three areas of dual relationships which are sexual, bartering, and private dual relationships. The results from the research were 1) The social workers tend to believe that while sexual and bartering dual relationships are less ethical, private dual relationships are more ethical. Meanwhile, they have little experience to engage in all areas of dual relationships; 2) Compared to beliefs and experiences, the social workers believe that each behavior is ethical, but they have less experienced the same behavior. However, the result of strong correlations between beliefs and experiences shows that the more the social workers believe that the behaviors are ethical, the more they tend to engage in the behaviors; 3) Based on socio-demographic characteristics, male social workers tend to accept dual relationships as ethical behavior than their female counterparts do. And those who are practicing in health settings tend to believe that the behaviors related to dual relationships are less ethical than those who are practicing in the other areas of the profession do. Finally, the research recommends that enhancing social worker's self-awareness and professional maturity is needed in order to prevent the occurrence of dual relationship engagement. Also, social work professional associations and agencies should provide education, training, and institutional restrictive devices for dealing with unethical dual relationships.

본 연구는 문화복지프로그램을 통한 사회적 취약계층의 사회적 배제 해소가능성을 탐색하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 문화복지실천가 대상 인터뷰를 토대로 기노시다(木下康仁)에 의해 창안된 수정근거이론(Modified Grounded Theory Approach)을 활용한 질적 분석을 시도하였다. 분석결과 문화복지프로그램은 사회적 취약계층에게 다양한 문화향유기회의 제공을 통해 이들의 잠재적 역량과 자존감을 증진시켜줌으로써 주체적 변화를 통한 사회적 배제 해소가능성을 보여주었다. 문화복지프로그램은 다양한 창작체험기회 제공, 과정중심의 비정형적 프로그램 운영, 프로그램 참여자의 주체화, 공동체활동 등의 접근전략을 통하여 참여자들의 창의적 역량과 자존감을 증진시키고 공동체적 연대의식을 강화시키는 기능을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 실제로 사회적 취약계층은 문화복지프로그램을 통하여 정서적 충족감을 느끼고 가족 및 대인관계의 향상, 긍정적 자아상 확립, 역량강화, 공동체활동 참여 등 삶의 변화를 경험하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 사회복지서비스가 취약계층의 사회적 배제를 해소시키기 위해서는 기존의 선별주의적 사회복지프로그램에 문화를 접목시킨 보편적 사회복지 프로그램으로의 전환 필요성을 시사해 주고 있다.

이 연구는 "초기 한국 사회복지학은 어떤 영향을 받아 무슨 내용으로 형성되었는가?"라는 연구주제를 역사주의(historicism) 관점에서 파악하여 한국 사회복지학의 출발점을 살피는 데 목적이 있다. 1세대 연구자가 저술한 개론서 세권을 기본 자료 삼아, 1) 원본의 역사적 개요, 2) 연구자의 개인사적 성향, 3) 주요 용어의 역사적 적용, 4) 사회복지학 내용의 역사적 맥락과 같은 틀을 만들어 분석하였다. 연구결과를 토대로 한국 사회복지학 형성과 관련하여, 1) 개론서 내용을 만회하기 위해 생존하고 있는 1세대 연구자로부터의 자료수집, 2) 기독교의 영향에 관한 연구, 3) 외국 원조 기관의 영향에 관한 연구, 4) 미국과 일본 사회복지학의 영향에 관한 연구, 5) 초기 이후 어떻게 변화했는지를 규명하는 연구 들이 필요함을 제언하였다. 아울러 각 저술과 연구자 개인사에 관한 연구를 더욱 상세하고 충실히 진행하지 못한 점을 이 연구의 한계로 꼽았다.

The nuclear family is no longer the typical Korean Family. In recent years, stepfamilies have been of the most rapidly growing family forms in Korea. Census Bureau data show that 5.9% of marriage were in 1980, 8.0% in 1990, 10.3% in 1995, 18.0% in 2000. Especially it is remarkable that women's remarriage have been increased. In spite of the fact, the stepfamily is not an urgent issue of social welfare in Korea. The stepfamily is more vulnerable than the first-marriage family in many reasons such as vague family rules, boundary ambiguity, and stepparent role ambiguity, which provides rationale for social welfare services. This study categorizes determinants of psychological distress in remarried mothers into individual, family, and environment level and tries to prove the relationships between psychological distress and determinants. Also, it explores the degree of psychological distress in remarried mothers using Zung's Self-Rating Depression Scale. The respondents of survey research are 62 cases. The result shows relatively severe level of depression among the subjects. 46.8% of them are clinically diagnosed as mild, moderate, severe depression. Our findings suggest that the variables of marriage satisfaction, ex-wife's remarriage, role strains, marriage experience, and income are significantly associated with the level of psychological distress in remarried mothers. The most powerful predictor of psychological distress is the variable of marriage satisfaction. According to the result, it is desperately needed to pay attention to social welfare services or programs for stepfamilies.
