Abstract:The article deals with the social workers' professional practice and its study, and it aims at reflecting over the use of Lucien Goldmann's idea of significant structure as a work method in Social Work in order to apprehend the existing qualitative relations between "the external ambience of the practice and its internal categories", from the social and historical analysis. In this process, it emphasizes the totality category, which is central in the dialectic thinking, as well as the basis for the goldmannian analysis.
