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:
“All men are equally proud. The only difference is that not all take the same methods of showing it.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
“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of motherhood provided by legislation, with all laws against voluntary motherhood and education in its methods repealed, with the feminist ideal of education accepted in home and school, and with all special barriers removed in every field of human activity, there is no reason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)
