Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / Socio-educational training course
Dutch term or phrase: mensvisie
Not much if at all any context. This is a subject of a course "social pedagogische hulpverlening". I assume it has to do with how humans are perceived. Does anyone know a good English translation for this?

vision of man(kind)


Explanation:
see e.g.:

De moraaltheologen zullen zich, als ze hun krachten verenigen in samenwerking met het hiërarchisch leergezag tot taak stellen, de bijbelse fundamenten, samen met de ethische aanwijzingen en de antropologische argumenten, waarop de door de Kerk voorgelegde moraal en mensvisie rust, steeds duidelijker aan te bieden.
=
Working together in cooperation with the hierarchical Magisterium, theologians will be deeply concerned to clarify ever more fully the biblical foundations, the ethical significance and the anthropological concerns which underlie the moral doctrine and the vision of man set forth by the Church.

  -> freek, to any native speaker (yours truly being the only one here it seems), "vision of man" would be the first thing that springs to mind. it's hardly detective work. then there is the fact that katerina/Barend went off on quite a tangent after that …

nature of humankind


Explanation:
https://www.adullamzorg.nl/over-adullam/zorg-en-mensvisie

De Bijbel en de drie belijdenisgeschriften vormen de identiteit van Adullam. Meer hierover leest u op de pagina Onze identiteit. Onze mens- en zorgvisie is ook gebaseerd op de Bijbel, Gods Woord. De mens is een schepsel van God en heeft daardoor de verantwoordelijkheid God te eren en te dienen. Door de zondeval en ongehoorzaamheid aan God zijn wij hiertoe niet meer bekwaam en gewillig. Toch blijft het onze plicht en verantwoordelijkheid om God lief te hebben en te eren boven alles en onze medemens als onszelf, met geheel ons hart, geheel ons verstand en met alle krachten.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_anthropology

One aspect studies the innate nature or constitution of the human, known as the nature of humankind. It is concerned with the relationship between notions such as body, soul and spirit which together form a person, based on their descriptions in the Bible. There are three traditional views of the human constitution – trichotomism, dichotomism and monism (in the sense of anthropology).[1]

Reference: social pedagogy

Reference information:
Social Pedagogy is an academic discipline concerned with the theory and practice of holistic education and care. The term 'pedagogy' originates from the Greek pais (child) and agein (to bring up, or lead), with the prefix 'social' emphasising that upbringing is not only the responsibility of parents but a shared responsibility of society. As a result, social pedagogy is a 'function of society'[1] – it reflects how a given society at a given time thinks about education and upbringing, about the relationship between the individual and society, and about social welfare for its marginalised members. Consequently, social pedagogues work within a range of different settings, from early years through adulthood to working with disadvantaged adult groups as well as older people. To achieve a holistic perspective within each of these settings, social pedagogy draws together theories and concepts from related disciplines such as sociology, psychology, education, philosophy, medical sciences, or social work.

Sociaal Pedagogische Hulpverlening voltijd

Integrale benadering van de cliënt

Wij vinden het essentieel dat de hulpverlener de problematiek van de cliënt integraal benadert. Dat hangt samen met onze mensvisie. De mens is een eenheid van soma en psyche, die in voortdurende in wisselwerking staat met de omgeving (gezins- en maatschappelijke factoren) en waaraan een levensverhaal is voorafgegaan (cultureel-historische perspectief). Ook de levensbeschouwelijke aspecten vormen een belangrijke component. Een centraal uitgangspunt bij de
behandeling is het stimuleren en respecteren van de eigen verantwoordelijkheid van de cliënt.

agree  Tina Vonhof (X): Gezien het bij de 'mensvisie' gaat om de wijze van benadering van de cliënt (en er zijn vele mogelijkheden), zou ik het vertalen als 'clinical approach'.//Dan zou je eigenlijk ook niet over therapieën moeten spreken. Clinical is een breed begrip.
5 hrs
  -> De context is "mensvisie en therapieen" Zie D-box. Ik zou niet het woord 'clinical' gebruiken in verband met een vak als pedagogische hulpverlening./ Ik zou dit verder moeten bekijken, Tina http://tinyurl.com/jdfa5uy Verwant is: Creatieve Therapie.
