Abstract

 

This theoretical essay presents some important observations about violence as a social phenomenon that places particular demands upon Social Work. It suggests ways to handle this critical category of Social Work. It works from the perspective of totality, emphasizing the diverse unity between ontology (the existence of a social being) and gnosology (knowledge about this being), considering the reconstruction of the issue proposed as ‘concrete thought’.
