SOCW 637

This course is designed for graduate students who have worked in social work practice settings but who do not have formal social work training. The historical and cultural development of social work practice models is surveyed with emphasis on contemporary models of practice such as constructivism, anti-oppressive practice, feminist practice, Indigenous practice approaches and structural practice. Key components of practice such as assessment, intervention planning, advocacy, organizing, recording, confidentiality, evaluation, case management, interdisciplinarity and termination are studied.
