Policymakers in welfare democracies throughout the world are raising questions as to whether welfare systems deliver what the public expects, and focus attention on increasing costs. Social workers need more evidence and knowledge about an increasing diversity of social work practices. Users of social welfare are increasingly individualized and made responsible for choosing and delivering their own service through contracts and this makes politicians, social workers and users more interested in evidence and knowledge about social services, even though these interests are often conflicting. These tendencies might be part of the reasons why the evaluation of social work practice seems to be characterized at present by a variety and diversity of research methods, approaches and theories.--publisher.

Das Buch gibt eine Einführung in die methodologischen Grundlagen und in die Anwendung rekonstruktiver Forschung. Die Besonderheit des Bandes liegt u.a. in der Darstellung der gemeinsamen Entwicklungslinien unterschiedlicher Verfahren und Schulen. Damit werden Synergien und Kombinationsmöglichkeiten verschiedener Zugänge, aber auch theoretisch bedingte Unvereinbarkeiten erkennbar. Gemeinsame Probleme quantitativer und qualitativer Zugänge bleiben dabei nicht ausgespart. Kernstück ist eine umfassende Diskussion methodisch fundierter Praxis qualitativer Forschung. Das Buch begleitet Forschende von der ersten Konzeption eines Forschungsvorhabens über die Feldforschung und Erhebung, Entscheidungen beim Sampling, die verschiedenen Schritte der Interpretation und Auswertung des empirischen Materials, die Abstraktion und Verallgemeinerung der Interpretationserträge bis hin zur Darstellung der Ergebnisse. Die einzelnen Entscheidungen, die im Zuge der Forschung getroffen werden müssen, typische Problemstellungen und Herausforderungen der Interpretationspraxis sowie mögliche Lösungen werden sowohl methodisch-theoretisch als auch anhand von konkreten Fällen und Forschungsbeispielen anschaulich und nachvollziehbar behandelt. Für jedes der vier im Detail ausgeführten Verfahren, die Methode der Grounded Theory, die Narrationsanalyse, die objektive Hermeneutik und die dokumentarische Methode geben die Autorinnen ein ausführliches Interpretationsbeispiel aus der eigenen Forschungspraxis. Die vierte Auflage wurde um zwei umfassende Kapitel zur Erhebung und Auswertung von visuellem Datenmaterial erweitert. Bei der Auswertung liegt der Schwerpunkt auf der rekonstruktiven Bildinterpretation. Sie wird allgemein dargestellt und im Einzelnen anhand der seriellen Fotoanalyse, der Segmentanalyse, der objektiv-hermeneutischen und der dokumentarischen Bildinterpretation behandelt.

Social Widerspiegelung is a central area of human life, however, it has been little researched for the theorization of social work. Otger Autrata and Bringfriede Scheu present the foundations of social Widerspiegelung and establish the essential connection between social Widerspiegelung and subjective quality of life. This makes an important contribution to the development of social work theory: The basic research on social Widerspiegelung is linked to the tasks of social work in discipline and profession. The authors Otger Autrata is head of the research institute RISS in Feldkirchen in Carinthia. Bringfriede Scheu holds a professorship for the theory of social work in the Bachelor's and Master's degree programme in social work at the Carinthian University of Applied Sciences. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
