International Conference The Place of Theology in the Theories and Methods of Social Work: Potentials and Risks

Thursday 2 November 2017 Whole day

to

Friday 3 November 2017 Whole day

Social work is not only an interdisciplinary field based on theories and various methods in particular social sciences and humanities. It adapts them in order to help clients. It is also a trans-disciplinary
field for its need of epistemological and ontological knowledge. This kind of knowledge allows the right choice of theories and methods from other areas and fields to make the right decisions of the
appropriate form for their application in practice. The conference will thus examine what kind of potentials and risks that theology presents for social work on both the epistemological and
ontological level, as well as on the level of application.
