| SOWK 5515 - CLINICAL SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE IN HEALTH CARE |
|
This course aims to help students to develop knowledge and skill with the full range of social work skills used in health care social work. A model of practice is introduced that suggests that social workers need to be simultaneously attuned to the psychosocial problems confronting people with major health problems at the same time as they recognize and work to alleviate the structural or systemic roots of many health problems. The model introduced here builds on generalist practice as well as approaches to advanced intervention. Attention will be paid to the special needs of people with health problems, the nature of the health care organizations that render care, and social workers’ role as health care professionals. Theories and skills of direct clinical practice are applied at an advanced level for individuals, families, and groups in health care settings. Skills of crisis intervention, case management, and professional practice as part of an interdisciplinary team are addressed. Faculty: J.
