Reflexivity and strategies of emotions (re)construction in social work with families in the Czech Republic
Original language description
Social work is an emotionally stressful profession and social workers are expected to cope with their emotions according to the practice requirements.Numerousauthorsanticipatethatreﬂexivityinrelation toone´sownemotionsisabsolutelyessentialforqualityexecutionof social work. However, there are opinions that believe that even the ability not to reﬂect in some (primarily demanding) situations of social work practice is also essential to cope with them. In this context, the paper aims at understanding the use of reﬂexivity in the strategies of construction and reconstruction of emotions in social work with families. In order to meet this objective, a qualitative research strategy has been used, particularly semistructured interviews with 30 social workers. The acquired data describes the strategies using emotions (re)construction (internal supervision, eﬀective persona, reﬂexive obsession), as well as not using reﬂexivity (defensive self). The created data are inserted in the context of coping and defence mechanisms, and implications for practice, education and research in social work are discussed.
