Abstract     Attention is paid mainly to three questions: the significance of the global social change for the profession of social work, the (in)significance of eclecticism in the theory of social work, and the (in)applicability of the systemic approach. Dealing with the first question, the author points out those influential global movements which concern the transformation of the dominant forms of power in a society, the mode of social integration, and the character of the state. He argues in favour of the other two questions, finding the eclectic approach useful (and necessary) and the system theory applicable in social work. Relating to some important distinctions introduced into social work by the system approach, the research Normatives and standards in social work by Bernard Stritih (published by School for Social Worlk, 1993) is reviewed.
