Sažetak
This paper is focused on preliminary research studies of the history of social work in Croatia in the 20th century in the period between the two world wars. It is a period in which the first professional forms of social work and social welfare emerged. Special attention is given to the influence on the development of social work of a small number of important individuals whose work was until now known in the areas of law, medicine and pedagogy. These individuals are Josip Šilović, Đuro Basariček, Milica Bogdanović and Andrija Štampar. The paper also considers the relation between social work and social medicine during that period.
The paper analyses the so far unknown incentive for the education in social work related to the Order of the Governor (Ban) of the Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia from 1920 for the establishment of the Royal social school in Zagreb. This document provides an interesting insight into the original thinking about the need for education in social work in Croatia.
The final part of the paper outlines the directions for further research of the history of social work through (1) further research of the contribution of important individuals, (2) the research of the activity of voluntary and professional groups that conducted various early forms of social work and (3) the issue of continuity of social activity in the discontinuity of social-political circumstances.
