    Natasa Magister's lecture "Sodobni koncepti socialnega dela v luci socioterapevtskega in restorativnega modela obravnave zaprtih oseb - kako naprej?" (Contemporary Concepts of Social Work in Light of Sociotherapeutic and Restorative Models of the Treatment of Imprisoned Persons: How to Proceed Next?), delivered at the criminological congress held in Ljubljana, 24-25 September 2003, is critiqued. Her definition of the sociotherapeutic model is found to be incorrect, pointing out that the treated individual's role is not passive in the treatment process as he/she is the subject rather than the object of the procedure. Magister's comparison of classical, modern, & postmodern approaches to the rehabilitation of offenders is criticized as based on theoretical characterizations provided in the literature on the subject rather than empirical data from practitioners. Her explanation of the popularity of the sociotherapeutic model in Slovenia in the 1980s is found to be flawed & based on incorrect assumptions. Her conceptualization of restorative justice & arguments for the superiority of the restorative approach over the sociotherapeutic one are criticized. Suggestions are offered answering the question Kako naprej? (How to Proceed Next?) in the title of Magister's lecture. 4 References. Z. Dubiel
