Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present my concept of the working relationship in social work, to plead for its use in social work practice and to reflect experiences while teaching this concept to students. This paper elaborates the specificity of the relationship between client and social worker in the helping process. The concept of the working relationship is explored as a relevant frame for defining concepts of help in social work. The elements defining the concept are explained: agreement, instrumental definition of the problem, personal leading, the strength perspective, the ethics of participation, co-presence and actionable knowledge are related to practical use and to teaching. The working relationship is a model that social workers can use and share with clients to make co-creating of solutions possible.
V prispevku želim predstaviti svoj koncept delovnega odnosa v socialnem delu, pledirati za njegovo uporabo v praksi socialnega dela in reflektirati izkušnje, ki jih imam s študenti v procesu učenja koncepta. Prispevek razčlenjuje posebnosti odnosa med klientom in socialnim delavcem v procesu pomoči. Raziskujem ali je koncept delovnega odnosa relevanten okvir za definicijo konceptov pomoči v socialnem delu. Elementi, ki definirajo koncept so obrazloženi in povezani z uporabo v praksi in s procesom učenja; elementi so: dogovor, instrumentalna definicija problema, osebno vodenje, perspektiva moči, etika participacije, soprisotnost in znanje za ravnanje. Delovni odnos je model, ki ga socialni delavci lahko uporabijo in podelijo s klienti v procesu soustvarjanja rešitev.
