SW 506 - Foundation Social Work Practice With Individuals, Families, and Small Groups 3 Credit(s)
This course is the second of four in the practice sequence. It builds upon the generalist social work practice perspective provided in SW 505 Foundation Generalist Social Work Practice. The course prepares the student for the advanced social work practice with individuals (SW 630 ) and families (SW 633 ) courses. This course focuses on the theoretical basis of direct social work practice with individuals, families, and small groups and on developing the student’s repertoire of direct practice skills. Students explore and develop strategies for engaging in, assessing, intervening with, and evaluating social work interventions with individual, family, and group client systems and with ethnically and culturally diverse populations. Solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, and psychodynamic interventions are highlighted. Various service systems are also explored to give students exposure to a wide variety of practice areas. Critical thinking and experiential learning are emphasized throughout the course. Prerequisite(s): SW 505 Corequisite(s): For on-campus MSW students, SW 553 is a corequisite.
