Sažetak
The profession of social work in Croatia has developed through the whole 20th century. This presentation deals with the development of social work profession during the socialism (1945 – 1990.) The key issues are related to (1) continuity of social activities and development of social work as profession in the discontinuity of social-political situation, (2) influence of the international processes and development on social work during socialism (3) the specific impact of socialistic system values on social worker identity and (4) the impact of social work development for the social reconstruction after II world war. In the fifties started in Croatia the development of the socialism based on workers self-management in distinction from dogmatic socialism. It corresponded with the foundation of the first school for social work in Zagreb in 1952. It was opened as part of reformatory trends towards international cooperation. The decentralization process and development of community system led to significant changes in the organization of social services. The key event was the opening of the first social work centre in 1959. This paper has no ambition to give historical judgments about the considered period, but can be seen as a point of reference for its further research.
