The presentation begins with the classic ̶̶ theory of Czesław Czapów, the creator of the Warsaw school of social rehabilitation, because this theory has been used in practice and continues to inspire young generation researchers. Most space was devoted to cognitivist-oriented resocialization, using the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Dynamically developing social rehabilitation based on the paradigm of positivity was also presented, including the concept of resilience and the concept of creative resocialization, which postulate working on potentials and developing strengths - factors protecting the individual against pathologies.
