Between therapy, activism, and profession: Bertha Pappenheim's contribution to the formation of modern social work
(International Organization Of Scientific Research : Gurugram, 2025) Jusko, Peter
This study analyzes the life and work of Bertha Pappenheim (1859–1936) as a significant figure in shaping the early contours of social work. The aim is to evaluate how her work – rooted in personal experience, ethical principles, and a gender-sensitive approach – resonates with contemporary concepts of social work as a profession that provides help. Based on biographical, historical, and professional sources, we have identified key aspects of her approach, including working with marginalized women, building community networks, cultural sensitivity, an emphasis on client autonomy, and a determination to change social inequalities. Of particular importance is the analysis of Pappenheim as a precursor to contemporary approaches, including intersectionality, trauma-informed care, empowerment, and community development. The results demonstrate that her life's work has enduring significance for reflection on professional identity, ethics, and practice in contemporary social work. Pappenheim thus represents a historical but also living model of value-based, critically oriented, and inclusive social work.
