Abstract: There are two styles of writing for social work theory. One is Payne's work-oriented social work theory. The other is Garrett's social-oriented social work theory. The former gives a prescription for social work practice and directly propels the practice, which, however, has trouble in rationalizing the results and mechanisms of the practice. The latter helps to explain the results and mechanisms of social work practice but has not yet developed a model for it. This paper tries to further explore the possibility of reconstructing social work theories, holding that there are three approaches for the propose: first, introduce mechanism analysis of “the work-oriented social work theory”; second, come up with a practical model of social work on the basis of “the society-oriented social work theory”; third, integrate “the work-oriented social work theory” and “the society-oriented social work theory”.

Key words: social work theory, style of writing, reconstruction, science of social work
