Abstract

The study examines the perspectives, practices and methodological approaches used on migration and multiculturalism from the discipline of Social Work. A documentary analysis was carried out using the Scopus database, using the Prisma technique and the Rayyan artificial intelligence tool for data analysis. 50 relevant articles were identified. The analyzed articles highlight the importance of concepts such as agency capacity, recognition theory, migration policies, acculturation, motivating factors of migration, the human rights approach, feminist theory and mental health as relevant in the professional intervention of Social Work. The intervention of this profession in the migration context focuses on assistance. Which points out important challenges in the intervention of this problem from social work. A prevalence of studies with a qualitative approach and a comprehensive-interpretive paradigm is observed, which suggests the need to continue studying this phenomenon from mixed and quantitative perspectives that provide tools for social work in specific intervention with the migrant population.
