Theory of social work and selected client groups

The monograph approaches only some, selected theories of social work, which are used in conditions of social work with clients in the Slovak Republic. The monograph does not provide an exhaustive overview of the theories of social work. It deals only with the theories in which social workers in encountered client groups and problems usually encounter. The theoretical basis of the presented theories has been drawn from a wide range of domestic and foreign sources so as to create the most comprehensive view of the presented theories. The theoretical basis is also presented in the application level represented by a specific client group or social problem. The authors used the knowledge of practice as outputs of the application plane. Linking to a specific practice of social work offers a theoretical and praxeological view of theories and their application in practice.
