This article focuses on social work professionals from both sides of divided Cyprus. Cyprus presents a very interesting, yet under-explored, case study as it remains an island de facto divided. The division has resulted in the physical and political separation of the two most populous ethnic communities (Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots) for over 50 years. This article offers an exploration of the views of social workers on both sides. Through a quantitative approach, participants in the study were able to express their thoughts and beliefs on the ‘other’ and on social work in a post-conflict environment.

为和平而努力：分裂的塞浦路斯的冲突和社会工作实践

本文重点关注分裂的塞浦路斯双方的社会工作专业人士。塞浦路斯提出了一个非常有趣但未被充分探索的案例研究，因为它实际上仍然是一个分裂的岛屿。50 多年来，该分裂导致两个人口最多的族裔社区（希族塞人和土族塞人）在物质和政治上的分离。本文探讨了双方社会工作者的观点。通过定量方法，研究参与者能够表达他们对“他者”和冲突后环境中的社会工作的想法和信念。
