OBJECTIVE: The aim is to depict the story of Educational Social Therapy as a method of
individual social work, influenced by intersections of professional tracks of Marie Krakešová,
the work author, and Vlasta Brablcová, her student. THEORETICAL BASE: The Educational
Social Therapy, published in 1973, is the magnum opus of Marie Krakešová, which definitively
crowned her work on the theory as early as in the 1940s. At that time, Gordon Hamilton and
Helen Perlman were developing their scientific and research activities. And although the theory
of Marie Krakešová had not crossed the borders (as the outputs were first published twenty years
later), her work does not lag behind developments of social work theory abroad. METHODS:
To achieve the aim, historical research using content analysis has been selected. OUTCOMES:
Synthesis of findings has been used to describe reasons for the author’s twenty-year silence and
circumstances of her return, when she was allowed to revise and publish her work. SOCIAL
WORK IMPLICATIONS: The benefit of the presented outcomes is in further expansion of
knowledge concerning development of Czech social work, comprehension of which will help
social workers to boost their professional identity, while opening the way to further research into
the application of the theory.
