  • Social work : the science, profession and art of complex dealing with complexity
    Šugman Bohinc, Lea
    The author defines social work as a "systematically unsystematic" approach to the science, profession and art of doing. It is founded on a participatory, constructivist epistemology. Social work is ... placed in the context of synergetics - a transdisciplinary science of complexity. Synergetics is presented through its generic principles and illustrated with examples from the research of the social work practice. The concept of the co-creative working relationship and the individual working project of help are interpreted as a transtheoretical parallel to "nonspecifically specific", "common" factors of help effectiveness and other forms of collaboration at the micro, meso and macro level of complex systems. Further research of stimulating circumstances for the processes of generating new, more effective interaction patterns of functioning of complex systems, such as multi-challenged families, communities, work organisations, administrative systems, as well as systems of basic social assumptions, norms and values can be developed based on the proposed starting points.
