COURSE DESCRIPTION This curse presents fundatin knwledge and skills essential t interpersnal practice with children, yuth and their families while cnsidering the cmmunity, rganizatinal, and plicy cntexts in which scial wrkers practice. It integrates cntent n multiculturalism, diversity, scial justice, and scial change issues, and it relies n the histrical, cntextual, and scial science knwledge presented cncurrently in the fundatin SWPS and HBSE curses. The student's field experience and future practice methds curses will build upn the skills presented in this basic curse. Thrughut this curse, students examine scial wrk values and ethics as well as issues f race, ethnicity, gender, sexual rientatin, religin, and ability as these relate t interpersnal practice. COURSE CONTENT Students will learn varius scial wrk rles (e.g. cunselr/therapist, grup facilitatr, mediatr, brker, advcate and resurce planner), recgnizing that these rles must be based n an awareness f cause and effect and n the adherence t scial wrk values and ethics. Students will understand the imprtance f develping relatinships with clients, clleagues, supervisrs, ther prfessinals, and many ther cnstituencies that make up the rganizatins in which they wrk. Students will als learn hw self-awareness and the cnscius use f self affect the helping relatinship.

Students will learn t assess prblems in clients' lives that relate t attributes f the client (e.g. age, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual rientatin, ability) as well as situatinal and envirnmental factrs relevant t the client's scial functining. Students will understand patterns f functining, t assess strengths and limitatins, and t plan, implement and mnitr change strategies. Students will learn the imprtance f evaluating methds f change based n situatinal effectiveness and n whether their implementatin enhances the client's capacity fr self-determinatin and the system's capacity fr justice. Varius preventin, treatment, and rehabilitatin mdels will be cvered as well as varius IP skills. In subsequent IP curses, mre emphasis will be placed n specialized assessment prcedures, evaluatin, treatment interventins, and terminatin. COURSE OBJECTIVES Upn cmpletin f this curse, students will be able t: (1) Describe eclgical-systems, bi-psych-scial, prblem slving, structural, and pathlgy versus strengths based framewrks in practice with individuals, families, and small grups AND critique the strengths and weakness f these varius framewrks. (2) Recgnize the impact f race, gender, ethnicity, scial class, sexual rientatin, pwer and privilege n interpersnal practice by: (a) demnstrating self-awareness abut hw their attributes and life experiences impact n their capacity t relate t thers with different persnal (b) attributes and life experiences. describe hw thers wh are very different may perceive them and hw status and pwer issues impact prfessinal relatinships with clients, clleagues, and ther prfessins. (3) Carry ut the rles f advcate, brker, cunselr/therapist, grup facilitatr, and resurce develper and assess the apprpriateness f these rles in cntext.

(d) implementing treatment prtcls cnsistent with treatment plans and sensitive t clients' situatins (e) recgnizing basic terminatin issues that pertain t interpersnal practice.

These tpics will explre hw the differences between wrker and client impact and shape these critical dimensins f scial wrk practice. Critical cnsciusness abut pwer imbalances between children and their brader systems, children/client and interventinist and between client and agency will als be explred. (2) Scial Justice and Scial Change will be central t the tpic f varius rles assumed by scial wrkers and in clienthd. The fcus f the curse is n small system change (individual, families, and grups) but the larger scial cntext and implicatins fr change will be embedded in persn in the envirnment (PIE) eclgical assessment, and in the experience f applicants as they enter scial agencies. These themes will be integrated int this curse thrugh the use f case examples and case scenaris that will be selected by the instructr t exemplify skills in practice. (3) Prmtin, Preventin, Treatment, and Rehabilitatin will be themes reflected in varius purpses and mdels f cntemprary scial wrk practice. In additin, this curse will emphasize skills that can be implemented with prmtin, preventin, treatment, and rehabilitatin as practice gals and utcmes. 3
Sctt Weissman (4) Behaviral and Scial Science Research will be presented in this curse t supprt practice methds, skills and assessment prcedures. Planning, decisinmaking and interventin prcedures will be directly brrwed frm the behaviral and scial sciences. RELATIONSHIP OF THE COURSE TO ETHICS AND VALUES Scial wrk ethics and values will be addressed within the curse as they pertain t issues related t wrking with clients and clleagues. The NASW Cde f Ethics will be used t give students directin abut these ethical issues. In particular, this curse will fcus n client issues, such as cnfidentiality, privacy, rights and prergatives f clients, the client s best interest, prper and imprper relatinships with clients, interruptin f services, and terminatin. In additin, issues that arise when wrking with clleagues, such as referral, cnsultatin, dispute reslutin, and mediatin will be addressed.
