  The article aims at complementing the phenomenological analyses of trauma from a sociological point of view. Trauma is considered to be an impression, which cannot be integrated to the subject’s identity in a coherent manner. Such irreconcilable impressions could originate not only from individual life events, but also social dysfunctions. In order to map these dysfunctions classic and contemporary social theories are called upon: with their help those modern social sufferings are overviewed, which threaten with the emergence of traumatic experiences. The three thematic focus points of the article (in parallel with the dysfunctions identified by classical sociology) are anomie, reification and loss of meaning. In the fourth section of the article those forms of sociability are highlighted, which hold the potential of providing answers to the challenges of modernization: the emancipatory bourgeoisie public sphere and the intimacy as mutual disclosure. Finally, based on these conclusions a critical-network social work is highlighted.

• A művészetterápia szerepe a serdülőkori depresszió kezelésében

  As social workers we frequently meet teenagers who are suffering from some type of depression. Of course social workers cannot heal them, or use therapy, but we do have to do everything in our power to form a trusting relationship with them as our clients. They need to communicate with us, which is already a challenge when it comes to the relationship between an adolescent and an adult. My project’s goal was to find the use and role of art therapy in our work with clinically depressed adolescents.

  In my research I write about the typical signs and forms of depression, and explain a few theories about the cause of the illness. Then I introduce different types of art therapy, mainly focusing on their use in social work. I examined different methods in art therapy and made a few recommendations about how they could be used in working with depressed clients.

  During my work I was very careful not to overstep the lines of social work. As I said, we cannot cure depression, but we can use certain tools of art therapy as a bridge between the social worker and the client whose age and illness makes it even more difficult to build a trusting relationship.
