Abstract
The presented text is an invitation to reflect upon the ideas of Gregory Bateson, their signs and tropes in modern humanistic thought, as a transversal example of their implementation in the theory and practice of social work. The main justification for selecting Bateson’s ecological ideas as a theoretical basis for social work are primarily the methods of analysis of this discipline, present in the concepts of Lech Witkowski, Ewa-Marynowicz-Hetka and Jean-Marie Barbier. Bateson’s ecological theories, though seemingly distant and incompatible, turn out to be possible to implement in the realm of social work, as well as indispensible to deepen the level of analyses, and the development of specific ideas and inspirations to seek feedback between practitioners and theoreticians, between the sphere of institutional solutions and human spirituality. The article is an attempt at conducting an analysis of key categories for the theory and practice of social work, which include understanding the complexity of processes concerning actions and situations in communication (their problematization, difficulties, inscribed relations, dynamics of effects), taking into account traps which can emerge and which Bateson emphasized in his postulates concerning the concept: a) totality of communication, b) metacommunication and c) double bind.
