In my thesis, I focused primarily on exploring the potential applications of systemic psychotherapy approaches within the framework of postmodern systemic social work. In the theoretical introduction, I presented the current insights and knowledge in systemic psychotherapy, postmodern systemic social work, and the possibilities for their integration. I based my work on the epistemological assumptions of systemic psychotherapy and postmodern systemic social work, examining the extent to which these two fields differ and the extent to which they are similar in their approaches and methods of providing support and help.
Based on this, I explored their fundamental differences, which I complemented by researching theoretical concepts and methodological approaches in both systemic psychotherapy and postmodern systemic social work. By presenting the contribution of family therapy within the context of social work with families, I investigated the existing knowledge on their interdisciplinarity and gained insight into how these approaches can support each other, which was also my guiding principle.
I conducted a qualitative study, through which I obtained results that helped me in my research and provided additional insights into the topic. The results suggest that there are more similarities than differences between the approaches and that there is a synergy between them, as the approaches can be highly complementary and mutually supportive.
