Abstract
The article summarizes the outputs of the author's dissertation. The aim of the dissertation was to identify the variability of approaches used by Czech social workers operating in the field of child protection to resolve parental disputes.
The research combined both qualitative and quantitative methodology and identified a typology of defensive practice, reflexive practice, and intuitive practice. Individual types differed in the attitudes the child protection social workers expressed towards recognized attributes of best practice, i.e. participation, multidisciplinary cooperation, transparency of processes and neutrality, professionalism and reflexivity.
