FAMILY - SOCIAL NETWORK - SOCIAL WORK

Nino Žganec ; Faculty of Law, Zagreb

Abstract

The article deals with certain aspects of family life with regard to
a broader network of its social relations. The age of destruction of
family values is revealed in the functional reduction and social
isolation of the family, on the one hand, but also in its inclusion
into different kinds of social networks, on the other hand. Although
these networks were initially research ed by social anthropologists,
due to the development of the social systems' theory, interest for
this phenomenon has started to transcend into the fields of other
sciences. Special attention is given to social networks, as a
comprehensive field of relations, in the so-called applicative disciplines.
Social work, regarded as such a discipline, has found in
the social network model, and especially in the method of social
work in organizing the community, a significant number of solutions
in the process of r;oping with the ever more complex problems
of contemporary persons and their families. Thus, one can expect
that the future development of practical-research models concerning
work with people will continue in that direction.
