SW 957 - The Art and Science of Social Work Practice

3 Credit(s)

The purpose of this seminar is to provide students with the opportunity to critically examine their own practice. While taking this seminar, students must be actively engaged in some form of social work practice—either with individuals, families, groups, organizations, or communities. Each student prepares a detailed case presentation and leads a class discussion of both the theoretical and empirical foundations for their interventions. In addition, the question of what constitutes evidence of effectiveness is addressed. The case presentations must be based on the student’s own work.
