The open coding method was used to evaluate the qualitative data. The research shows that only some methods of social work are used and other methods of social work remain in the background either because of the poorly set social system in the Czech Republic or because the method is not functional due to the characteristics of the clientele. In order to use some social work methods, a change is needed in the social system of the Czech Republic. Furthermore, the research shows that in the Czech Republic the assistance to aggressors of domestic violence is insufficient. The bachelor thesis can contribute as a basis for improving and expanding social work with aggressors of domestic violence.
