In recent years, a growing literature has rediscovered radical social work and the various forms it takes. In these debates, a key concept that has been developed and deployed is ‘resistance’. Studies provide growing evidence for the myriad ways in which social workers engage in resistance activities as part of their everyday practice. However, most of these studies portray resistance as an individualised activity and overlook the role of clients in such activities. Drawing on the concept of ‘disruptive power’, this article makes the case for what it terms ‘disruptive social work’, which involves collective resistance activities that disrupt institutions and social relations of everyday life to create meaningful change. After providing a definition of disruptive social work, the article suggests that this practice can be carried out at two levels. At the professional level, social workers occupy an important structural position that allows them to disrupt the workings of the social service system. At the client level, social workers can help their differently positioned clients develop a sense of their own disruptive power and activate it. Examples of disruptive social work are presented throughout the article. It concludes by highlighting the practical and ethical challenges this practice poses for social workers today.

破坏性社会工作:形式、可能性和张力

近年来,越来越多的文献重新发现了激进的社会工作及其采取的各种形式。在这些辩论中,已经发展和部署的一个关键概念是“抵抗”。研究为社会工作者在日常实践中参与抵抗活动的无数方式提供了越来越多的证据。然而,这些研究中的大多数将抵抗描述为一种个性化的活动,而忽略了客户在此类活动中的作用。本文借鉴“破坏性权力”的概念,阐述了所谓的“破坏性社会工作”,它涉及集体抵抗活动,破坏日常生活的制度和社会关系,以创造有意义的变化。在提供了破坏性社会工作的定义之后,文章建议这种做法可以在两个层面上进行。在专业层面,社会工作者占据了重要的结构性地位,使他们能够扰乱社会服务体系的运作。在案主层面,社会工作者可以帮助他们不同定位的案主培养对自身破坏力的认识并激活它。整篇文章都介绍了破坏性社会工作的例子。最后强调了这种做法给当今社会工作者带来的实际和道德挑战。
