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.

Famous quotes containing the word methods:
“With a generous endowment of motherhood provided by legislation, with all laws against voluntary motherhood and education in its methods repealed, with the feminist ideal of education accepted in home and school, and with all special barriers removed in every field of human activity, there is no reason why woman should not become almost a human thing. It will be time enough then to consider whether she has a soul.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
“The philosopher is in advance of his age even in the outward form of his life. He is not fed, sheltered, clothed, warmed, like his contemporaries. How can a man be a philosopher and not maintain his vital heat by better methods than other men?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It would be some advantage to live a primitive and frontier life, though in the midst of an outward civilization, if only to learn what are the gross necessaries of life and what methods have been taken to obtain them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
