Abstract		For the purposes of terminological ctarity, considering the significance of the field; of informal help (in "natural" settings), and for the purposes of research, the authors present a taxonomy of informal help they elaborated on the basis of the empiricaI dat from the interviews carried out by the students of School for Social Work: The main criteria of the proposed taxonomy are stability of informal help and the range of the social circle to which that stability applies. Next, they compare this taxonomy with Weber's typology of social action and with the division of social activities into individual sectors (from the point of view of the welfare system). Through this comparison, they point out the different applications of the various kinds of classiffications, especially regarding their origin, the object to which they refer, the criteria they use, and the purposes they set out. To differentiate on this level is the condition for them to be useful in social work.
