ABSTRACT

While other scholars argue that there seems to be a disjuncture when it comes to applying ubuntu in clinical social work, the impetus of this discourse is to reflect on ubuntu as a philosophy applicable to clinical social work interventions in mental health. Assuming that clinical social work is based on the biopsychosocial and ecological models, it explores how ubuntu is relevant in the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of behavioral, emotional, and mental disorders. The article calls for the adoption of ubuntu philosophy to the theoretical framework of clinical social work practice in mental health.

捍卫非洲ubuntu哲学及其在心理健康临床社会工作实践中的地位：生物心理学和生态系统的观点

摘要

尽管其他学者认为将ubuntu应用于临床社会工作似乎似乎存在分歧，但这种论述的动力在于反思ubuntu是一种适用于心理健康临床社会工作干预措施的哲学。假设临床社会工作是基于生物心理社会和生态模型的，那么它将探讨ubuntu与行为，情感和精神疾病的评估，诊断，治疗和预防之间的相关性。本文呼吁在心理健康临床社会工作实践的理论框架中采用Ubuntu哲学。
