“…However, when the first settlement houses came into being in the 1880s and 1890s, neither the term 'social work', nor the profession, nor the academic discipline were in existence. The term 'social work' only gained currency in the 1910s, as James Leiby (1985) has shown. The fields of practice it comprises were called 'philanthropy', 'charities' and 'correction', and the actors who promoted these activities were typically connected in social movements such as the settlement house movement, Christian socialist movements, women's movements and so on.…”

A new interest in social pedagogy has arisen internationally since the beginning of the twenty-first century. This new development is accompanied with considerations on how to translate abstract notions such as social pedagogy to fit new social contexts. The umbrella term ‘social professions’ helps to gain an international and transnational outlook, as it does not solely focus on a single profession that has become dominant in the social sector of a single nation state. This article aims to show that there are important interconnections in the histories of social professions in the various nation states which have influenced both social work and social pedagogy. Instead of focusing on the distinctions between the various social professions, this approach aims to reveal the boundary objects which have facilitated the links between the different developments without causing the social professions to become homogeneous. During the progressive era in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, there was a transatlantic discourse that influenced those professions’ further development. It is argued specifically that the settlement house movement and its understanding of and work with the community affected the development of social pedagogy, as these ideas and practices were adapted to comply with the changing face of social pedagogy in the second decade of the twentieth century.

“…The profession's earliest roots lie in the rich Judeo-Christian heritage (Leiby, 1985;Siporin, 1986). The Christian biblical command to love one's neighbour was translated into a sense of moral responsibility for social service and inspired the development of philanthropy and charity organisations during the 19 th century (Elliott, 1993;Furman, 1994).…”

“…In at least one important respect, Gewirth's proposition is reminiscent of a period in social welfare history that modern social workers have always found objectionable: the pre-twentieth-century distinction between the so-called worthy and unworthy poor (Lubove 1965;Trattner 1979;Leiby 1985). Contemporary social workers have generally rejected the notion that clients must measure up morally in order to be worthy of professional services.…”
