| Summary: | The article discusses the issue of integration between the social sector and health sector in the Italian system of services. After stressing the importance of integrated work, we describe the professions involved in the same. Starting from a study carried out on the Italian territory, in the year 2012, we attempt to delineate the role that the sociologist and social worker can play in the achieving the integration between health and social sector. The results suggest that both professionals play important roles in the realization of social-health integration and that, to avoid duplication of responsabilities and functions, it’s necessary, on the one hand, to encourage dialogue and collaboration between these professionals, on the other hand, formalize profiles and skills of the social sector professions.
