ABSTRACT
Systemic and constructivist ideas have gradually established themselves in social work discourses. 1 In this context, there are other dominant perspectives which seem to advocate a complete individualization of responsibility. In this chapter, this notion will be contrasted with relational constructivism which allows us to see individuals as persons in environment. Furthermore, in this chapter I will plead for a relational social work that – by considering and working on the interrelations between individual and society – will maintain its competence (Kraus, 2017c).
