In the article, the author examines the role of critical social work in regard to the COVID-19 pandemic with reference to theory, practice and pedagogy. The author argues that the COVID-19 crisis was not only a crisis of public health but also an ideological crisis. In this context, the author explains that a combination of political theory and psychotherapy theory is necessary when treating individuals for whom the political–ideological space is central to their experience of distress. Such an integration, which is essential to critical social work, can exist when political theory and psychotherapy theory are treated as complementary theories that illuminate the human experience from different angles. Bereavement due to COVID-19-related loss is examined as a theoretical case study to explore the topics of the article alongside the concept of political psychotherapy.

COVID-19、丧亲之痛和政治心理治疗：批判的社会工作视角

在本文中，作者结合理论、实践和教学法探讨了批判性社会工作在 COVID-19 大流行中的作用。作者认为，COVID-19危机不仅是一场公共卫生危机，也是一场意识形态危机。在这种背景下，作者解释说，在治疗那些政治意识形态空间对其痛苦经历至关重要的个人时，政治理论和心理治疗理论的结合是必要的。当政治理论和心理治疗理论被视为从不同角度阐明人类经验的补充理论时，这种对于批判性社会工作至关重要的整合就可以存在。将因与 COVID-19 相关的损失而导致的丧亲之痛作为理论案例研究进行研究，以探讨文章的主题以及政治心理治疗的概念。
