Psychosocial basis of social work 3401-PS11PSP2
The course corresponds to the parallel course "Theory and methods of social work", and lays basis for next year courses, such as "Clinical social work" or "Work with the family". Two thematic blocks can be distinguished: (1) problems of social psychology, questions of interpersonal perception and opening social relationships in particular and (2) problems of schools in psychotherapy: different views on the subject of the sources of disorders in the functioning of the individuals and correction methods, that is psychotherapy techniques; realization of the content of the second (much broader) block relies upon analysis and comparison of theses and experience of psychotherapy schools, which exercised significant influence upon theory and practice of social work.
