The Afrocentric Paradigm

A Pragmatic Discourse About Social Work Practice with African Americans

Pages 1-17 | Published online: 04 Oct 2008
 

ABSTRACT

This article discusses the Afrocentric paradigm as a viable theoretical framework to guide the future of social work practice. A historical overview of the paradigm is followed by a description of the basic assumptions for human behavior, self-identity, and community. The last section demonstrates the Afrocentric principle of harmony by embracing the problem-solving model as the conduit for positing wider acceptance and practical application of the Afrocentric Paradigm.
