摘要

This article examines the growing importance of resilience, self-care and stress management in social work under increasingly demanding working conditions. Based on an analysis of continuing education programmes and ten group discussions, it shows that although these concepts promise relief, they actually contribute to the individualisation of structural problems. Overwork, staff shortages and conflicting demands no longer appear to be organisational or political deficits, but rather questions of personal resilience. Resilience thus becomes a controlling figure that morally enhances adaptation and devalues collective criticism. The article calls for a repoliticisation of the resilience discourse and a return to linking professional quality to structural conditions rather than individual adaptability.
