Students investigate theories of social work intervention and current practice models used with individuals and families. Students explore the debates and tensions between various approaches, analyzing their underlying assumptions, and the reasons for the use of different approaches across settings and with different client groups. Understanding power dynamics and how broader structures impact individuals and families is a fundamental component of the course. Practice examples encourage an integrated understanding of micro and macro aspects of practice.
