SW-622 ADV CLI SW PRAC W/FAMILIES

This Concentration year course emphasizes the differential assessment and treatment of individuals, families and family subsystems with problems representative of the three focus areas (children and families, health, and mental health). Students develop knowledge and skills in three areas; behavioral and cognitive approaches to practice, empowerment practice, and psychodynamic approaches to practice. These approaches are differentially applied to select individual and family problems (e.g. family/domestic violence, substance abuse, depression, and loss and grief). The course includes a focus on the influence of ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientaion, and other socio- cultural factors as they are encountered in the differential practice process with the select problem areas.
