The document discusses the importance of client-centered practice when working with youth. It emphasizes that the client is the expert on themselves and the worker's role is to hand over responsibility for answers and thinking to the client through questioning. A client-centered approach requires workers to consistently invite responsibility from clients by asking questions about their thinking, intentions, and how they arrived at decisions. It should be respectful, engaging, and provide new information while addressing power imbalances, rather than arguing, blaming, or deciding outcomes for clients.
Group work in Correctional & Industrial settingsgaya3lavanya92
This document discusses the scope and role of social group work in correctional and industrial settings. Social group work aims to help individuals enhance their social functioning through purposeful group experiences. In correctional settings, social group work is used with juvenile delinquents, in prisons, de-addiction centers, and with children with disabilities. Groups in these settings address problems, build self-confidence and esteem, and facilitate adjustment. In industries, social group work forms task-oriented and peer groups and runs programs on stress, family issues, and substance abuse to improve productivity and employee well-being.

Psychiatric social work applies social work methods and practices in psychiatry settings. It is both a science and an art that treats patients through psychological and social means as psychiatric illness can disturb social conditions. Early psychiatric social workers collected case histories and acted as intermediaries between patients and families. Over time, psychiatric social work developed as a distinct profession with roles in hospitals, the military, and creating public awareness of mental health issues. In India, psychiatric social work began in 1937 with child guidance clinics and has since expanded, with specialized training beginning in the 1950s. Social work methods like casework, group work, and community organization are important in psychiatric services to help patients and families adjust.
In U K Christianity played an important role in developing this Social Work concept. Because the Motto of Christianity is to “Love your Neighbor as you love yourself”, which means to be charitable towards others.
Thus today the Social Work has brought a complete change in the Western Societies and has become a Professional Service.

Social Case work, Historical Development and Principles
Introduction:
All human beings are part of the society and everyone in the society has different social role and duties.
While performing his role and duties, individual faces many problems in one or other form, which hinder his performance as a social being.
Casework is the oldest and the most developed method of solving individual’s problems and improving his social relations.
This document provides information on case work, counselling, psychotherapy, and the similarities and differences between them. It discusses that case work aims to help individuals enhance their social functioning through understanding their social, psychological, and economic factors. Counselling assists clients through a trusting relationship to resolve personal and psychological problems. Psychotherapy treats psychological disorders and mental distress using various techniques to overcome problematic thoughts and behaviors. While they have distinct approaches, case work, counselling, and psychotherapy also share similarities as they may use similar theoretical frameworks and training materials.
Social group work is a method of social work that helps individuals enhance their social functioning through purposeful group experiences. It aims to help individuals develop through interaction in group situations and create cooperative groups working toward common goals. Social group work guides individual interaction in program activities so people can relate to others and experience personal and group growth. The purpose of social group work is to teach individuals to live and work together through participation in group activities to develop their intellect, emotions, and physical skills and prepare them to take responsibility in a democratic society.
The document describes three models of community development: locality development, social planning, and social action. The locality development model emphasizes self-help, participation, and empowerment. The social planning model uses technical expertise to identify and solve community problems. The social action model views power structures as oppressors and organizes disadvantaged communities to demand redistribution of power and resources through tactics like mass action and pressure.
Social work practice with individuals.ppt (1)saniladappatt
Social work with individuals is a key part of generalist social work practice. Social casework aims to help individuals solve problems through a relationship that taps personal resources. Various methods have been used in casework over time, including psychosocial, functional, problem-solving, behavioral, and task-centered approaches. Current trends favor a selective eclectic approach that is empirically grounded and solution-focused.
This document outlines 10 principles of social group work: 1) planned group formation, 2) specific objectives, 3) purposeful worker-group relationship, 4) continuous individualization, 5) guided group interaction, 6) democratic group self-determination, 7) flexible functional organization, 8) progressive program experiences, 9) resource utilization, and 10) evaluation. It states that in social group work, groups are formed based on their potential for individual growth and meeting needs, objectives are consciously set based on individual and group needs, and workers establish purposeful relationships with groups.

This document outlines the agenda for a workshop on strengths based approaches. The workshop will include presentations, activities, and small group discussions to help participants understand strengths based approaches and how to apply them. It will explore how to identify individual and organizational strengths and focus on positive attributes rather than weaknesses. The goal is for attendees to leave with a deeper understanding of strengths based tools and ideas for incorporating these approaches into their own work.
The document discusses the psychosocial approach in social case work. It examines how the psychosocial approach looks at how psychological factors and the social environment influence individuals' well-being and functioning. The approach was first used by Erik Erikson and further developed by others. It involves assessing clients' issues and contributing factors, setting treatment goals to alleviate distress and improve functioning, and using techniques like environmental modification, counseling, and ego support to help clients.
The document provides an overview of social casework including its history, definitions, objectives, components, techniques, and types of problems addressed. Some key points:
- Social casework aims to help clients better adjust their relationships and develop self-sufficiency through understanding their full circumstances and motivations.
- It originated in religious/charitable work and evolved into a scientific approach focused on treating each person as a unique individual.
- The main objectives are helping clients mobilize their own capacities to solve problems and achieve a healthy adjustment between their situation and environment.
- It involves understanding clients' problems in the context of internal/external forces and social functioning, while also considering their resources and agency/community support
This document discusses social welfare administration. It covers the importance of social welfare administration, functions like determining goals and policies, areas of administration like organization and planning, and principles such as meeting community needs. It also discusses personal policies, the responsibilities of executives, orientation and training, evaluation purposes and types, and report writing. The overall purpose is to explain how social welfare programs are administered effectively.
Group work evolved from informal community organizations in the late 19th/early 20th century United States in response to industrialization, immigration, and urbanization. It was used by settlement houses, youth organizations, unions and others to help communities adapt. In the 1920s, thinkers recognized its potential and it became a recognized method. After World War II, literature and theories on group work increased and it professionalized although its popularity declined in the 1960s. It reemerged in the 1970s and continues globally with adaptations to different contexts.
differences and similarities between casework and counseling.pptxshanmughavadivu2
This document summarizes the key similarities and differences between social casework and counseling. Both originated to provide advice and train volunteers to help individuals become independent by finding solutions to problems with guidance. Their main objectives and clientele are similar, in helping clients solve problems themselves. The most important similarity is that both rely on the relationship between the counselor/caseworker and client to be effective. However, casework involves more concrete help and focuses on activity, while counseling emphasizes problem realization and can be done without an agency. Casework follows an 8-step process while counseling uses a 6-step process.
The document discusses three key techniques of social casework: interviews, observation, and recording. It provides details on interviews, including their purpose and characteristics of a good interviewer. It also discusses the needs of a good interview and outlines the typical format of an interview guide. The document then briefly covers observation and highlights the importance of recording for organizing information, assessing clients, and evaluating work. It describes three types of recording: process recording, summary recording, and problem-oriented recording.

The summary emphasizes that community organization involves systematic planning, assessment of community needs and resources, and collective decision making and action to address issues in a sustainable manner.
Scarcity, resource conservation, and sustainable entrepreneurship: Olivia Aronson
This document proposes a multi-level perspective on sustainable entrepreneurship. It suggests that sustainable entrepreneurship is influenced by individual manager worldviews, strategic group affiliation, and community culture constraints. Three propositions are outlined: 1) Manager worldviews influence sustainable entrepreneurship. 2) Strategic group affiliation influences sustainable entrepreneurship. 3) Variability in community culture influences the level of sustainable entrepreneurship. Limitations and implications for theory and practice are also discussed.
This workshop aims to teach participants an Interactional Analysis Model for primary prevention. The model focuses on expanding assets and decreasing limitations/anxiety in the self-system, interpersonal relationships, and community character. For the self-system, participants will work to increase flexibility and a range of self-experiences by reframing problems as solutions. For interpersonal relationships, the goal is to strengthen social support networks. And for the community, the workshop will help identify environmental resources and ways to address anxiety-provoking factors. The overall approach is collaborative and focuses on asset-mapping to promote empowerment from a multi-system perspective.

This document provides an overview of social work as a profession. It discusses four key concepts of social work: social change, problem solving, person-in-the-environment, and empowerment. Social work aims to promote social justice, address barriers faced by disadvantaged groups, and empower clients. It involves assessing individuals' situations holistically and addressing problems at various levels from individual to community. Social work is guided by values of respect, self-determination, and confidentiality, while also prioritizing prevention of harm.
Rachel Meyer explores how empowerment theory can be applied to help clients with substance use disorders (SUD). Empowerment theory focuses on clients' strengths rather than weaknesses. It aims to enhance clients' self-efficacy, critical consciousness, and ability to take effective action to overcome SUD. Key aspects of empowerment-based interventions include identifying clients' coping strategies, teaching new skills, and supporting the development of self-confidence and motivation for change. While empowerment theory emphasizes personal empowerment, critics argue it may just rehabilitate clients to fit social norms without addressing broader social and political factors.
The document discusses occupational therapy interventions for clients in an oncology setting. It states that clients can expect occupational therapists to comply with government legislation, plans, standards and guidelines regarding quality of cancer care. Occupational therapists are expected to conduct thorough assessments of clients' physical, functional, psychological and social needs and utilize a multidisciplinary approach to maximize independence and quality of life. Core skills clients can expect from occupational therapists include using purposeful activities and environmental modifications to promote health and function. The treatment process involves problem-solving approaches like gathering information, assessing issues, and planning interventions.

This document discusses organizational culture at multiple levels. It defines culture as shared values, assumptions, and beliefs that influence member behavior. Culture is reflected in artifacts, rituals, and underlying assumptions. Values and climate are also discussed as levels of culture. Climate represents how members experience an organization's culture. Several theories on organizational culture are presented, including Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory, which identifies power distance and individualism vs. collectivism as key dimensions. Schein's model of organizational culture identifies artifacts, values, and underlying assumptions as levels that comprise an organization's culture.

Are those who join environmental associations particularly aware of the problems?
Is it just about awareness? Are those who are more aware of environmental problems more likely to participate in environmental organizations?
What is the difference between environmentalists and non-environmentalists?

Research
Questionnaire distributed to 3 groups.
1) Environmentalists 2)Industrialists (Business & Engineering 3) General Public
On some items, environmentalists and general public both agreed on damage to environment (Environmentalists agreement was stronger)
Awareness of environmental dangers can only account in part for membership in environmental groups
How do we then
explain participation in
Environmental groups?
Need to examine beliefs about environment in the context of wider systems of belief & action (We see bigger difference between environmentalists and others)
Environmentalists see environmental dangers to be much more serious.
Environmentalists: More likely to lack confidence in and even show hostility toward science and technology
Environmentalists: More opposed to institutions of industrial society
Belief Systems (Environmentalists)
Low support for material values (Maintaining high rate of economic growth, maintaining stable economy)
High support for post-material values (Progressing toward less impersonal, more humane society; Progressing toward a society where ideas are more important than money)
Environmentalists have a different worldview, meaning system, and value system than non-environmentalists.
Environmentalists Vs. General Public
What differentiates environmentalists from general public is not awareness of environmental dangers but use to which they put their environmental beliefs.
Universal trump cards: Time, money, God, Nature
Laws of nature are used to sanction moral codes (Hurricane Katrina happened b/c of abortion)
Environment is trump card used by environmentalists
Those on Left: Less confidence in science, higher scores on anti-industrial society scale, higher post-material scores, more opposed to economic individualism, more likely to rate environmental dangers as more serious.
Environmental Movement
Environmental movement: Vehicle for harnessing beliefs about environmental dangers to support attack on central values and beliefs of industrial capitalism -- the hegemony of economic goals and values. (Define good citizenship through consumerism)
In other words, Environmental movement is a way of acting out beliefs. Belief is that the world and society is not just about money, individualism, etc. A belief system that feels the environment is in seri ...
This document discusses two models of social work practice: the advocacy model and the empowerment model.
The advocacy model aims to effect changes in policies, practices and laws that negatively impact groups of people. It involves actively supporting causes and trying to gain others' support through activities like political lobbying, promoting legislative change, and briefing media.
The empowerment model views empowerment as a process where individuals, organizations and communities gain control over their own lives. It focuses on restoring power and choice to victims by supporting their process of taking control of their own situation and future.
Social advocacy promotes social justice, equality, and inclusion. It empowers disadvantaged groups to have their voices heard and influence decisions that affect them. Social advocacy has three goals: promoting social change through challenging injustice and inequality; solving problems by providing support and services; and empowering people through education and enabling them to deal with difficult situations. Effective social advocacy involves listening to individuals, using their experiences to inform advocacy for systemic change, and promoting participation in decisions. It is a crucial tool for social workers to achieve social justice.
Organizational behavior draws from various fields like psychology, sociology, political science, economics, anthropology to understand human behavior in organizational settings. It focuses on understanding the impact of individuals, groups, and organizational structure on employee behavior. The goal is to apply this knowledge to improve organizational effectiveness and productivity.
The document discusses several key concepts in healthcare ethics including principles of ethical decision making (autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, etc.), approaches to ethical problem solving, and forces ensuring ethics will be important in management decision making.

1. Client-focused Approaches Empowerment Strength-based Collaboration Client-centred Person-In-Environment Ecosystems Approach Click on each segment to view more details
3. Empowerment The “Process of increasing personal, interpersonal, and political power so that individuals, families, and communities can take action to improve their situations.” (Gutierrez 1994 p. 209)
5. Strength-based Perspective Focuses on individual, family, and community strengths and competency. This is in contrast to other professions which focus on deficits or maladaptive functioning (pathology). Focusing on strengths gives people the power to build on what resources they already possess, what skills and competencies they have already mastered to overcome the obstacles they are faced with.
7. Collaboration Collaborative work recognise that each client is the expert in their own life; that clients have the most knowledge as to what their needs are, and what resources they need to access. Collaborative work ensures that clients are invested in the outcomes of interventions, by giving them joint responsibility and recognising their abilities and potential to succeed.
9. Client-centred approach Focuses on the needs of clients and to let their needs and abilities guide welfare work practice. Client-centred approach ensures that interventions are collaborative and individualised. Client-centred approach seeks to empower the individual to direct the intervention and assess what resources they need.
11. Person-In-Environment Recognises the client, their environment and the interaction between them. Coined by Florence Hollis (1964) Person-In-Environment (PIE) or “the person-in-the situation” stresses a person’s physical, social, and psychological realities as well as the social realities that both define and limit that person. Social and welfare workers seek to examine both the personal, and the social aspects of all ‘problems’ be they social problems, or personal ones. Most intervention happens at the individual level with system approaches to problem solving seek mainly to improve individual functioning.
13. Ecosystems Approach Similar to Person-In-Environment, Ecosystems approach seeks to intervene at a level of systems. Developed in the 1970’s and 1980’s Ecosystems approach seeks to identify and improve ecological conditions. This approach was developed by Meyer, Germain and Gitterman, & Maluccio Meyer (1988). The paradigm on ecosystems “considers environmental variables as interrelated and reciprocal with the person variables, and therefore environmental intervention must be included among the treatments of choice.” (p.287) Germain (1979): “In an ecological view, [social work] practice is directed at improving transactions between people and environments in order to enhance adaptive capacities and improve environments for all who function within them” (pp. 7-8)
