    Only for students who are in field! This two-semester course exposes students to selected practice theories for social workers. Students are introduced to the processes that are common to every client system level: preparation and engagement, differential use of self, assessment, contracting, intervention planning, evaluation, and termination of services. Considered over two semesters are work with individuals, families, groups, and, more briefly, organizations and communities. The broad range of settings, problems, and roles of the practitioner are addressed. Special concerns are social justice and the impact of diversity and oppression for client and worker. Actual practice dilemmas are examined through case discussions, videotapes, role-play, and other exercises.
