Abstract

The adoption of the Marxist theoretical framework in Social Work courses is a fundamental part of the challenge to conservatism in professional practice. However, the daily routine of professional practice, guided by the hegemonic interests that demand the work of social workers, continues to present the contradiction between the limits found in the daily routine of professional work and the demands of the worldview claimed by the profession. Thus, this article aims to analyze the challenges of the relationship between theory and practice in Social Work. The article is divided into two sections. The first seeks to analyze the construction of the method of analysis in the works of Karl Marx and its importance for the relationship between theory and practice. In the second section we analyze the historical process of changes in the profession and the way in which the relationship between theory and practice has been placed for Social Work in Brazil and Latin America.
