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:
“A woman might claim to retain some of the child’s faculties, although very limited and defused, simply because she has not been encouraged to learn methods of thought and develop a disciplined mind. As long as education remains largely induction ignorance will retain these advantages over learning and it is time that women impudently put them to work.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“We can best help you to prevent war not by repeating your words and following your methods but by finding new words and creating new methods.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“If you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it yourself.... If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution. All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
