現今社會工作所遇到的工作困境，在過往的社會工作萌芽發展時也曾遇到過，前人也曾為了爭取工作權益和生存保障走上街頭。人是生活於社會實體當中的載體，社會工作者自然也不例外，在歷史事件發生的當下，人們受到各種經濟、政治、社會、文化脈絡的牽引及外在力量的搓揉，往往難以看清事件的全貌，唯有透過事後以更寬廣的視野去檢視當下，才能從過往的歷史經驗中學習。歷史與現實密不可分，只有瞭解過去，才能認識現在、把握未來。據此，本研究將以臺灣資深社會工作李雲裳老師五十餘年的思想與事蹟為研究主軸，藉以瞭解臺灣社會工作的發展軌跡，和回顧前人如何在草創時期，一切混沌中實踐社會工作的價值，並歸納其中的精神內涵與具體行動，以建構出過去臺灣社會工作者的形象，提供後人今昔對比的機會。
The work dilemmas encountered in today's social work have also been encountered in the development of social work in the past. The predecessors have also taken to the streets in order to strive for work rights and survival. People are the carriers of living in social entities. Social workers are no exception. In the current events, people are attracted by various economic, political, social and cultural contexts and external forces are often difficult to see. The whole picture of the incident can only be learned from the historical experience of the past by examining the present with a broader perspective. History and reality are inseparable. Only by understanding the past can we understand the present and grasp the future. Based on this, this study will use the thoughts and deeds of Taiwan's senior social work teacher Li Yunshang for more than 50 years as the main axis of research, to understand the development track of Taiwan's social work, and to review how the predecessors used to practice social work in all chaos. And sum up the spiritual connotation and concrete actions to construct the image of Taiwanese social workers in the past and provide opportunities for future generations to compare.
