Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A review of social work's early history reveals a gradual struggle to develop a unifying professional identity. This process has been influenced by numerous factors, but best evidenced by the lasting impact of the Flexner paper, delivered at the Conference of Charities and Corrections in Baltimore in 1915. The paper challenged the professional status of social work, and is still referred to in current literature about the status and identity of the social work profession. This lasting uncertainty about social work's identity is reviewed from the perspective of Lacanian analytic theory. Jacques Lacan, a European analyst, was an influential and controversial figure in the field of psychoanalysis during the mid-twentieth century. Lacan's theory of the Mirror Stage and the Name of the Father are used to provide insight and consideration of social work's protracted identity crisis.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
