Issue 1 of 2023 of the Social Work Review aims to publish original articles on the issue of social work in a changing society. Recent social changes affect various areas in which social workers intervene. Whether we are talking about refugees from the war, families affected by the Covid-19 pandemic or the economic crisis, social workers are at the forefront, assisting vulnerable groups. The topic, important and current for the field of Romanian social work, resulted in the publication of 18 articles, written as the sole author or in work teams. The summary is varied and presents research with different themes in the field of social work, with important references from the interdisciplinary area, carried out in Romania, but also at the international level.
