Virginia Robinson a person who I respect in the history of social work
I Admire her because Virginia Robison was a feminist and a social worker just like me, She was a fighter of the movement and she was close to poor people, she was always with them trying to help, and I feel identified with her because that is what I want to aspire to, to be with people and implement a feminist vision that apart from helping people, especially women, can generate a critical thinking from that vision, being able to generate questions that help them to value themselves and help each other.
She contributed to a sociological but more psychological approach, showing many psychological theories and to develop a new theoretical vision for social work. She focused especially on the relationship between social worker and persons, as a basic tool that accompanies the whole process of help. With the famous phrase of her: "what the person chooses to tell is what is important for the social worker"
She is a Fighter for the women's movement (feminist) and professor of social work at the University of Pennsylvania. 1919 - 1952 Co-founder and president of the Otto Rank Association (because Otto Rank was close to Sigmond Freud and was important in his psychological thinking as he thought in a similar way) in 1965. Her perspectives, teaching methods and programmes changed continuously and she was known for her extensive theoretical activity.
