Advanced Principles of Administrative

Catalog description

and Clinical Practice within an Interdisciplinary Context The course is designed to orient advanced standing students to knowledge introduced in the first year of the two-year MSW program. The course provides a theoretical orientation to the interdisciplinary context of social work practice, identifies the components of role conflict resolution, and explores strategies for promoting interdisciplinary collaboration. Building upon the generalist practice model, this course demonstrates the linkages between a generalist perspective and an integrated theoretical perspective for advanced clinical practice with individuals and groups. The course also explores commonalities and differences between a generalist perspective for working with families and more specialized approaches. Special emphasis is placed on psychodynamic systems and cognitive/behavioral theories and intervention techniques with individuals, groups, and families. Students must be active in the graduate Social Work plan or in the Advanced Standing Social Work student group to register.
