Annotation

THE CONFLICT OF ROLES OF THE SOCIAL WORKER IN WEST GERMAN CORRECTIONS REFLECTS THE CONTRADICTORY PHILOSOPHY OF STATUTES INTENDED TO PROVIDE SOCIAL ASSISTANCE ON THE ONE HAND AND SOCIAL CONTROL ON THE OTHER.

Abstract

THE MAJOR CONFLICT DISCUSSED IS THE USE FOR PURPOSES OF CONTROL OF INFORMATION OBTAINED BY THE SOCIAL WORKER IN THE CONTEXT OF A CONFIDENTIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH A CLIENT. DISCUSSED IS THE QUESTION OF PROVIDING LEGAL PROTECTION FOR THE SOCIAL WORKER'S PROFESSIONAL RIGHT OF PRIVILEGED COMMUNICATION. SEE NCJ-28401 FOR PART TWO. --IN GERMAN SUMMARY IN ENGLISH
