Summary/Abstract: The 3/2025 issue proposed a challenging and daring, always topical and interesting, dynamic and surprising theme for social specialists: the word and the importance of stories in social work alongside art and how it shapes the social world. The issue includes articles that bring to the forefront research and discussions about the importance of stories in the work of a social worker, about how art heals, restores or soothes, about how the word transforms and reinvents the vulnerabilities of our times. The importance of art in the work of a social worker has been, and always will be, an important resource. Regardless of how is used, art is a tool whose impact, positive and transformative, is always argued by both social workers and social service recipients, implicitly their families. Art brings freedom in social intervention, it brings change and personal development, it brings a perspective that classical methods of intervention are more difficult to outline (Oliveira, Carvalho, 2024). However, using alternative methods in social practice requires both good training of specialists and the openness of beneficiaries and their families (Patel, Soren, 2025).
