Abstract:
This article highlights aspects of the eighty-year-old path of the Brazilian Social Work. Such a path was marked by the ethical codes as the expression of the procedural dynamics in which the profession was conceived, reconceptualized and renewed. The aim is to highlight the status of the profession maturity, based on the Marxian thought and the professional ethical and political project, although, contradictorily, there are still vestiges of its origin, marked by Neothomism as well as adjustment practices and social help.
