Positions

Heiko Kleve represents a postmodern theory and methodology of social work that he has developed in several books and numerous articles (see the selection of his works, in particular Postmoderne Sozialarbeit (Aachen 1999 / Wiesbaden 2007), Ambivalenz, System und Success (Heidelberg 2007) and Listed differences (Heidelberg 2011)). In this concept, ambivalence is illustrated as a central figure in practice and theory, and therefore as a determining phenomenon in social work. Accordingly, it is both a question of reflecting on ambivalences in social work - that is the task of theory, as well as supporting practice in dealing with ambivalences in a constructive, creative and future-oriented manner - that is the task of methodology. Such ambivalences are illustrated, for example, by clearly showing that social work is between helping and not-helping, between helping and controlling, between problem and solution, between society and the individual, between professional work and charity, between lifeworld orientation and economization, between Past and future or between inclusion and exclusion. Important reference authors from Kleve, to whom he follows for his concept, are in particular - for the theory: Niklas Luhmann, Zygmunt Bauman, Francois Lyotard or Wolfgang Welsch and - for the method: Matthias Varga von Kibéd and Insa Sparrer.

Kleve's theory can be classified “as a supertheory , because it clearly articulates the claim to do justice to the complexity of social work in its various facets and areas of reality (meta-) theoretically and analytically. The range of Kleve's system-theoretical theory variant can thus be characterized as universal. However, it not only includes the phenomenon of social work as an object of research and theory formation, but also one's own theory itself. […] The stated universality is reflected in the entire structure of Kleve's theory of social work. His reflections and observations include not only discipline and epistemological questions, topics and problems in the narrower sense, but also social-theoretical, professional and action-theoretical and, last but not least, ethical aspects of social work, which are measured with the help of systems-theoretical-postmodernist theoretical instruments. "

“Kleve's great merit is that he was one of the first social work scientists to make the constructivist perspective 'acceptable' for studies and practice in the context of his diverse publications. Accordingly, this point of view is well suited to understand the specific characteristics of an individually unleashed society and to react to it in social work. "
