Der Beitrag behandelt die Frage, wie Erwachsenenschutzbehörden mit den gesetzlich festgelegten Zielprogrammierungen «Selbstbestimmung», «Schutz» und «Wohl» von Klientinnen und Klienten umgehen. Dies wird anhand eines Falles und von Forschungsbefunden zu weiteren Fällen aus einer Studie zu den Auswirkungen politischer Steuerung auf die Organisationsgestaltung und das professionelle Handeln in der Sozialen Arbeit erörtert. In der Studie wurde die Umsetzung der 2013 in Kraft getretenen Gesetzesreform im Kindes- und Erwachsenenschutzrecht der Schweiz untersucht. In einer Schlussbetrachtung werden die gesetzlichen Ziele und das sich daraus für die Praxis des Erwachsenenschutzes ergebenden Spannungsfeld professionstheoretisch gedeutet und die dargestellten Forschungsbefunde darin eingeordnet.

The following contribution relies on the testimony of women themselves to expose and unpick a uni-dimensional focus on choice – to work or stay at home – to illustrate the multi-layered and complex set of factors that influence women’s decisions relating to work and caring. While based on a small sample that cannot be generalized from, the discussion of the outcomes gives strong evidence to the importance of looking beyond what first appear to be straightforward choices to critiquing the complex inter-play of factors that shape these “choices.” Such are e. g. structural or ideological reasons as decision-making factors for becoming a Stay-at-Home Mother.

This article discusses how Albanian women – all of the sample here being lone mothers – attempt to balance between their earning and caring activity. The here discussed research reveals how the situation of lone mothers in Albania changed drastically after 1990. As there have always been moderated regulations for support to lone mothers during communism as well as after, the correlation between different factors gives insights into a more precarious need for individual handling of job possibilities without socialsecurity on the one hand and acceptance of different sources for social support on the other hand.
