Summary/Abstract: The topic of this paper is social costructivism as a modern theoretical approach which significantly changes social work practice. Social constructivism is observed as a heterogeneous set of theoretical approaches. The paper presents an overview of different definitions and designations of this term. Its essence is a critical attitude towards common social assumptions, which are considererd important for empowering the role of dominant social groups. Putting emphasis on self-determination, individualism, participation and social justice, it becomes an important link in the process of empowering users of social work. Therefore, in this paper we put a special emphasis on its contribution to theory and practice of social work. At last, it is previewed as a practical example of social constructivism usage in social work practice.
