Summary/Abstract: This article attempts to conceptualize seemingly manifest (overt) social problem as a specific type of social problem. An example of a seemingly manifest (overt) social problem in Poland is the issue of single motherhood and single mothers. It was pointed out that historically shaped patterns of social reaction to the problem of single motherhood determine current patterns of professional help addressed to families of single mothers in Poland. There is a need to verify social work with single mothers and shaping the social work again.
