Methods
In the past 3 main methods were defined:
- Individual case work- with the aim to improve/develop individual life circumstances,
- Social groupwork- with the aim of developing social competences,
- Community intervention work- with the aim to develop social demographic structures.
After 1970 a lot of different methods derived from those three. In the praxis a monomethodical approach can be barely found; approaches/ concepts of action predominate which include more than the three classic methods.
