CHICAGO SCHOOL OF SOCIOLOGY – THE SOCIAL WORK EXPERIENCE FOR SOCIOLOGY AND THE SOCIOLOGICAL THEORY FOR SOCIAL WORK

; Faculty of Law, Universitiy of Zagreb, Department of Social Work
Abstract
The Chicago School of Sociology and its infl uence on the development of social work at the end of 19th and in the beginning of the 20th century is an outstanding example of interconnectedness of academic activities and practical implementation of ideas that emerged at the university. Such interconnectedness and deep dependence have never occurred again in social work. Such close and active connection between the university and the active involvement most likely enabled a unique form of creativity in the history of social work.
