In this talk delivered to social workers, Winnicott brings his understanding of professional psychiatry, with its attempts to treat severe mental illness using a more humane approach, together with his belief in dynamic psychology—the emotional development of the individual derived from the study of psychoanalysis—into a closer connection with one another. He charts a brief outline of psychoanalysis and interprets the psychoses through it. He sees the importance of early environmental factors in mental illness and the possible effects of this on maturation. He comments on depression both normal and psychotic in type, on his theories of personalization, of feeling real, and, through early dependence, the gradual growth of the functioning self. He also gives an empathic view of the role of the social worker in the difficult work of treating acute mental ill health.

The social role of social worker: its shaping and acting in Erving Goffman’s dramaturgical perspective The subject of the work is shaping and playing the social role of a social worker in the dramaturgical perspective of Erving Goffman. The article is based on the author’s own research carried out for the purposes of the BA thesis. A qualitative method was used, namely an in-depth interview and participant observation. The aim of the article is to describe and explain how the social role of a social worker is shaped and played in the light of Erving Goffman’s dramatic concept on the basis of research carried out at the Municipal Social Welfare Center. Social workers and students of social work participated in the study. The main hypotheses adopted in this work are the assumptions that the social role of a social worker is shaped and played by participation in performances with a defined interactive order, and that each of the performances contains a defined interactive order to which certain, constant elements are subordinated. The collected data was analyzed using the Atlas.ti qualitative analysis software. The research shows that social workers shape and play their social role by preparing in the backstage and during performances on stages, which are: studies, internships and professional work both in the center and in the field.

The dissertation is the first comprehensive study of practical training of social workers in high school of Poland. The analysis of the source base with the use of searchbibliographic, logical-system and interpretive-analytical methods revealed that a considerable amount of work is devoted to covering the issue of practical training of social workers in the educational process of higher education in modern world science, but systematic historical and pedagogical research on the development of the practical training of social workers in high school of Poland at the present stage of development was not carried out. The theoretical principles of the genesis and development of practical training of social workers in high school of Poland are revealed. It has been established that the legislative provision of training of social workers in Poland is a complex and dynamic process, which is constantly changing in accordance with international standards, regulatory requirements, social changes and needs for this type of service in a European country. However, the adoption of a number of legislative acts, which, in the light of European tendencies, regulated the social policy of the state during the period under investigation, predetermined much earlier the delineation of the professional space for the social worker in Poland and the emergence of a system of vocational training of social workers with the domination of their practical competitiveness on the labor market. On the basis of a holistic historical and pedagogical analysis it was established that the process of practical training of a social worker in high school of Poland as a social phenomenon includes two conditionally defined, substantiated and interconnected periods with corresponding transformations at the genesis stages: the first period – the development of practical training of social workers of the Polish Higher Education (1990 – 2004): (1990 – 1995); (1995 – 1999); (1999 – 2004); the second period – the intensification of the practical training of social workers of the Polish Higher Education (2004 – 2018): (2004 – 2008); (2008 – 2018). The practical component of the vocational training of social workers in high school of Poland is synergistically due to the subject-subjective interaction and mobility of the educational institution and the student, with a predictable orientation for future professional cooperation between the social worker and the client. Such an approach is an integral part of the social system of the state, which determines political, social, educational and personal transformations. In order to make changes, improve, review some of its elements and how to interact with them, one can apply only those pedagogical influences that are associated with natural trends in its development. The progressive ideas of the Polish experience regarding the practical training of social workers are outlined and the possibilities of their creative use in the domestic educational space are carried out. The study does not claim to comprehensively and exhaustively disclose all aspects of the problem. The directions of further work include the implementation of a comparative analysis of the professional training of social workers in Ukraine and the EU, the development of tools for ensuring the professional selfimprovement of specialists of the stated specialty by means of innovative foreign technologies, etc. Key words: practical training, practical courses, practice, practical social work, social worker, practical training of a social worker in Polish Higher Education.

In the literature of social work, there is one important perspective lacking. The workers discuss the purposes and policies of their institutions and seek to evaluate results in these terms. They discuss their jobs from the standpoint of established professional standards. However, by the very nature of their positions, they are insulated from the criticism of the people they do or do not serve in the local community. The politician is responsible to his constituents, and if they are dissatisfied with his performance they can vote him out of office. The clients of the social worker have no such power, nor are they articulate enough to give public expression to their dissatisfactions. Consequently there is likely to be a wide disparity between the purposes and policies of a settlement house and its actual functioning. Concentration upon the functions of the institution in its day to day dealings with people should supply the missing perspective. By observing the relations between social workers and the people, we shall be able to determine what role the settlement house actually plays in the community.

The article analyzes the phenomenon of aesthetic and art education in the context of postnon- classical culture, which most fully reflects the peculiarities of the worldview orientations and values of a modern man, and is a kind of reference point for determining the scientific and theoretical basis for the development of this phenomenon at the present time. The article reveals the reasons for strengthening the social role of aesthetic and art education, which connects it with the values of the family, leisure activities and informal education. Aesthetic and art education is considered as a “living” organism that is in constant motion, able to respond to sociocultural changes, and in its rhizomaticity does not ignore the heterogeneity of the surrounding world; as an integral component of education in general, which is found in the community of key tasks focused on “human creativity” in the context of value and meaning categories of culture. It is justified the shift from information and knowledge pedagogy to pedagogy of meaning, actualizing the importance of processes of self-identification, harmonizing the relationship between man and the world, itself based on the parity of dialogical forms of cognition; the transfer of dynamics of artistic and creative activities to the internal world of the individual and the updating on this basis of strategies of irrational thinking. In conclusion, the author is concerned about the level of humanitarian culture in the society and studies aesthetic and art education as an effective mechanism for its development, as a general cultural value internalized by society.

North And South

While debt has the capacity to sustain social relations by joining together the two parties of a debt relation, it also contains the risk of deteriorating into domination and bargaining. Throughout history, different understandings of debt have therefore gravitated between reciprocity and domination, making it a key concept for understanding the dynamics of both social cohesion and fragmentation. The book considers the social, spatial and temporal meanings of this ambiguity and relates them to contemporary debates over debts between North and South in Europe, which in turn are embedded in a longer global history of North-South relations. The individual chapters discuss how debts incurred in the past are mobilised in political debates in the present. This dynamic is highlighted with regard to regional and global North-South relations. An essential feature in debates on this topic is the difficult question of retribution and possible ways of “paying” – a term that is etymologically connected to “pacification” – for past injustice. Against this backdrop, the book combines a discussion of the multi-layered European and global North-South divide with an effort to retrieve alternatives to the dominant and divisive uses of debt for staking out claims against someone or something. Discovering new and forgotten ways of thinking about debt and North-South relations, the chapters are divided into four sections that focus on 1) debt and social theory, 2) Greece and Germany as Europe’s South and North, 3) the ‘South’ between the local, the regional and the global, and 4) debt and the politics of history.

The human rights concept is that everyone is entitled to enjoy those rights inherent to being human, without distinction. However, should human rights be considered a self-evident value for the social work profession? This study was to explore how social workers in Taiwan perceive the human rights concept. Responses from 276 social worker participants were analyzed by using a self-administered questionnaire. This study showed that social workers had a general knowledge of human rights. Receiving human rights educational training and engaging in social protests were important variables in increasing human rights awareness for social work practitioners.
