Indigenization process of alcoholism treatment from the American to the Indian context

The education given to social work students in developing countries has been the subject of much recent study. In the earlier half of this century, professional social work was transferred from the developed world to developing countries. Much of this technology transfer was based on the belief that social work had a universally relevant methodology and an international professional identity. The consequences of this transfer are many. It has caused conflict and confusion in issues of social work practice in countries like India, Taiwan, China, and the Philippines, to name a few. In response to these conflicts social work educators have argued for the need to take into account the indigenous elements of the social, cultural, economic, and political aspects of the country for relevant social work education and training.
