Abstract		The author points out, with respect to people's personal and sacial problems, the necessity of turning away from the traditional epistemology to the principles of a new (nonlinear) epistemology, ie., to the kind of work in which the expert's singleminded definition of a problem is consciously renounced, the consent between the giver and the receiver of help is constantly tested, the self-image of the receiver and his/her relational system is taken into account, unexpeetcd complications are expected, and everything that leads to all-mastering (all-anticipating) modernist construction of the "hard reality". The difference between the old and the new approach to helping is illustrated with three possible models of problem-solving, which represent a continuity between the traditional and the systemic paradigm of human help and enable the processes of autopoiesis, autonomy and self-referencing.
