社会工作专业自产生以来 ,有关增权的研究一直是专业中的一个主题 。尤其是近 30 年来, 增权更 成为社会工作专业和整个社会中一个无所不在的话语 。但在我国,社会工作研究并没有赶上这股潮流, 到目前为止 ,国内对增权理论仍然缺乏系统的介绍。为了弥补这方面知识的不足, 本文从辨析权力 、无权和增权等基本概念入手 ,追溯社会工作中增权取向的实践基础和政治 、思想基础, 然后简要地概括增权取向的社会工作模型。希望能够抛砖引玉 ,引起大家对以往的社会工作进行反思 。

“Empowerment” is the most important professional theme since social work generated as a profession .Empowerment now is widely applied in various social and practice areas beyond social work profession as a philosophy and policy perspective in the recent 30 years, and has become a social discourse existing in society .Differing from the traditional patriarchal benefactor and liberator approaches, empowerment does not attempt to put the client to the professional level nor direct them to the goal made and described by the experts independently , it emphasizes the client' s participation and maintains the interaction between the workers and their clients .It also takes the client as subjects who has his own values, and can set up a goal of action for him self .This article traced the practice , political and philosophical basis of empowerment through identifying the main concepts of power , powerlessness and empowerment to fill the knowledge gap exiting in the current academic community of mainland China , and finally generalized the social work practice model of empowerment approach .
