Annotation : This handbook systematically examines key theories and concepts of social work that have developed throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. It presents the evolution of perspectives from psychosocial and family approaches to modern concepts of empowerment, resilience, trauma-informed, and eco-social work, as well as the impact of digitalization and quantum thinking on the profession. This publication contributes to a deeper understanding of the theoretical foundations and practical tools of social work to improve the quality of social services and the lives of vulnerable groups. The handbook will be of interest to academics, social work practitioners, higher education students specializing in "Social Work," and anyone seeking to grasp contemporary concepts in the social sphere.
