Advanced Clinical Social Work Practice I and Practicum

1 Course Unit

Clinical Social Work Practice I and Practicum builds on the generalist model of practice established in the foundation social work practice courses. The course work and assignments are closely linked to the students' learning objectives and experiences in practicum. This course has students critically examine and deepen their understanding of advanced theoretical frameworks and specific skills to be applied in clinical practice with children, adolescents, adults, and families. Students begin with classic and modern formulations of psychodynamic work and use this as a foundation for understanding theoretically and empirically drive models of family intervention. In addition, use of self and social work values and ethics and working with diverse clients are addressed at an advanced level. Fall Prerequisite: SWRK 6040 AND SWRK 6140 1 Course Unit
