Streszczenie: The problems of the methodological approach to social work and its identity is led out from the position of the general methodological questions and their contribution to the identity and to performance of social workers. The study brings also a specific original aspect – the question of the specificity of social work as a science and as a field of studies. Considering the theme of the identity of social work we must consider it in relation to this originality and specificity of concrete social work here and now, but also in relation to all our countries, and also to social work education in Europe. Not only does the notion of “identity” generally offer students and staff an indispensable exploratory tool for practice and reflection, but it is also useful for the analysis of the national and European situation of the profession. Very frequently we find also the identity understood as the “collective identity”. We can find the ethical, moral and philosophical beliefs in social work with which the profession itself identifies and through which it defines itself. Ultimately the answer to the question of the identity of social work gives the methodology of our research in social work united with the research of concrete experience. It is a broad field of inquiry, for the number of important questions in social work never seems to decline: methodologies, problems and results.
