VOŠAHLÍKOVÁ, Iva
The aim of the thesis is to articulate individual dilemmas in social work with children with behavioural problems. Thanks to the specification of the facility in which I work as a social worker, i.e. an educational institution for girls, which includes a unit for underage mothers with children, I will break down at work the various dilemmas associated with working with this target group. The dilemma itself may be whether pregnant underage girls should be placed in institutions of institutional education, whether they are competent to care for their child when they are still children themselves. They have behavioural problems, some of them also suffer from psychiatric disorders, are or have been drug users. They have different value orientations. Social workers in institutional education deal with various dilemmas, it is (according to Matthew): formalisation and deformation, professionalisation and deprofessionalisation, normalisation and abnormality, assistance and social control, polyvalence and specialisation. In Musil's view, complex or simplified objectives can be addressed, neutrality or favoritism, procedural or situational approach, material or non-material assistance, intervention or non-intervention. The work will be complemented by ethical theories that can help a social worker make decisions.
