Professional Training in the Amazon and for the Amazon
This article conducts a debate on professional training in Social Work and the treatment of regional particularities, with emphasis on the Amazon. In the light of historical and dialectical materialism, supported by bibliographical research, it proposes a formative process that articulates universality and particularity, international and local contexts, national and regional demands, in the spirit proposed by the Curricular Guidelines constructed by the professional category of social workers in 1996. It is postulated that the generalist formation, at the same time that it should form professionals with capacity to act in the plurality of socio-occupational spaces anywhere in the country, should also favor responses to regional particularities.
