This book critically analyzes both the negative and positive impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic, focusing on changes in families, gender developments, and the evolution of social inequality structures. The Corona pandemic, with its unprecedented restrictions on contact, has meant that families have been challenged in their functioning in a very special way. International studies show that socioeconomic factors such as education, income, but also the geographic center of life of families and women in particular, had an important influence on the management of the pandemic. Despite all negative side effects of the Corona pandemic, there were nevertheless also innovative impulses, especially in the field of social work, particularly work with families. The book's 18 chapters, organized in six sections, highlight not only short-term changes but also longer-term developments that either require a corresponding concept of measures or action or can be evaluated as drivers of innovation in the pandemic. Part I: IntroductionPart II: Family DynamicsPart III: Child Well-being Part IV: Social Work with Children and FamiliesPart V: Gender and COVID-19Part VI: Conclusion The special feature of the volume is its global perspective. Authors from different countries describe changes and developments on these topics and make clear what profound effects the pandemic had on families, social inequality structures, and gender-specific situations. The anthology does not comprehensively reflect international perspectives. Rather, it leaves it up to readers to compare the developments in the respective countries with their own country of origin from a comparative cultural perspective. In this way, ideas for future, overarching research projects may be stimulated.Family Dynamics, Gender and Social Inequality During COVID-19 is timely and relevant reading for scientists, students, and practitioners in sociology, social work, and political science.

Das Handbuch beleuchtet das Feld der Sozialen Dienstleistungen aus interdisziplinarer Perspektive und geht dabei folgenden Fragen nach: Welche Moglichkeiten und Strategien gibt es in multi-professionellen Teams, um Machtungleichgewichte und Kompetenzstreitigkeiten zu beseitigen? Welche neuen Kommunikations- und Organisations-, Supervisions- oder Beratungskonzepte braucht es, um die Zusammenarbeit multi-professioneller Teams zu ermoglichen? Ebenso: welche Fallstricke und Herausforderungen gilt es zu meistern? Weiterhin widmet sich das Buch der Frage, welche innovativen Methoden und Instrumente der Personalentwicklung geeignet sind, um multi-professionelle Teams fest in den Einrichtungen zu etablieren oder auch zum Abbau von Geschlechterstereotypen und Genderlabeling beizutragen. Nicht zuletzt versteht sich das Handbuch als Beitrag zur Reflektion der Professionalisierungsdebatten im Feld der Sozialen Dienstleistungsberufe.
