The professional nature of social work has been harshly debated both by social workers and by academic scholars. In Italy social workers (assistenti sociali) can be described as recently professionalized, while other occupational groups have appeared on the stage: educators, social-health operators and many others.

In the field of pediatric obesity, it appears to be a scientific backwater in which the idea that prevention is better than cure seems to be the big news of the last 30 years: in this sort of black box labelled “prevention of pediatric obesity” there are unhealthy food practices, sedentary habits and an incorrect lifestyle (for children and familie...
The sociological debate on the medical professions, initially focused on medical dominance and on the information asymmetry on healthcare and then on defensive strategies implemented against the decline of medical power, now seems to be able to stoke a new and promising line of investigation: the reflexive professionalism. Medical professionals hav...
