Abstract
Social work belongs to professions that have emerged and established themselves to meet urgent societal needs. The purpose of specialists in this field is not only to create necessary conditions for the social protection of people, groups, and communities but also to foster their ability to build their lives and mobilize internal resources to overcome life crises. The article aims to characterize the practical significance and types of social work while exploring the essence of psychological aspects in the professional activity of social workers. The main directions of the article are to investigate the interrelation between social work and psychology and to clarify the psychological features of education for future social workers. Several research methods were employed, including general scientific methods such as synthesis, analysis, deduction, and induction, which helped determine the research goal and conduct the analytical processing of scientific sources. It enabled the structuring of available domestic and foreign literature on psychological and social work matters and the historiographic and retrospective methods. The research findings reveal vital theoretical aspects of psychological preparation for future social workers during their educational process. The study of scientific-practical materials allowed identifying essential trends in training for social work professionals.
