Social Work Practice III

(3 Credits)

The overall objective of this course is to help students deepen and extend their assessment and intervention skills in work with individuals and families who show a range of problems (e.g., mental illness, substance abuse, AIDS, physical illness and disability, domestic violence, rape, and sexual abuse). The impact of diversity and oppression is discussed throughout the course. Students are taught to recognize and resolve ethical and value conflicts, to recognize gaps in service and dysfunctional agency or social policies, to consider strategies for developing resources, and to integrate research thinking and findings into their practice. Formerly titled Clinical Practice with Individuals & Families.
