teaching Clinical Social Work skills entirely online a case example
Social Work Education, 2006Co-Authors: Darcy Clay Siebert, Jennifer SpauldinggivensAbstract:While numerous disciplines have eagerly embraced innovative educational technology, many Social Work educators have not been among early adopters. Social Work's focus on the human connection and hands‐on practice skills can seem antithetical to technology‐mediated education. Nevertheless, Social Work programs are implementing distance learning and Internet‐mediated courses, and some schools are offering entire Social Work courses online. Leading the way in this regard is the Florida State University College of Social Work, which has developed and implemented the first CSWE‐accredited, entirely online Master of Social Work program. The purpose of this paper is to describe the development, design, and implementation of one skills‐based Clinical course in this program, with the goal of sharing information in a way that will further the discussion of the risks and benefits of online education as well as provide guidance for educators who may be interested in developing a skills‐based online course in the future.

teaching Clinical Social Work skills primarily online an evaluation
Journal of Social Work Education, 2006Co-Authors: Darcy Clay Siebert, Carl Siebert, Jennifer SpauldinggivensAbstract:This article describes an evaluation of the first skills-based Clinical course taught in a Council on Social Work Education-accredited, entirely online, MSW program. Students in the online course answered retrospective pretest and posttest questions regarding change in their Clinical skills. Researchers compared online students' responses to a standardized course evaluation with student responses on the face-to-face version of the same course. Online students reported significant increase in skills, and their final assignment and course evaluation scores were comparable to students in the face-to-face course, with the exception of instructor availability and facilitation of learning. Implications for teaching skills-based practice classes online are discussed.

Clinical Social Work professionalization perspectives among mental health Social Workers
European Journal of Social Work, 2014Co-Authors: George KarpetisAbstract:The development of mental health Social Work in Greece has been contingent upon a number of local and international drivers. The current study provides descriptive data in order to examine the perspectives of mental health Social Workers on the professionalization of Clinical Social Work. A self-addressed questionnaire that aimed to acquire quantitative data from Likert-type questions was delivered to 154 mental health Social Workers. A statistical analysis of the 65 returned questionnaires illustrated that the vast majority of the informants supported the professionalization of Clinical Social Work, and that their perspectives were related to their demographic and professional characteristics.

psychodynamic supportive psychotherapy techniques in Clinical Social Work practice with patients
Smith College Studies in Social Work, 2012Co-Authors: George KarpetisAbstract:In this study, the author researched his Clinical practice in a community mental health center with six parental couples whose latency-aged children suffered from prevalent separation anxiety disorder symptoms. Through thematic analysis of the anamnestic process recordings of 53 parent sessions, the author's speculation on the effectiveness of the supportive psychodynamic psychotherapy techniques to psychodynamic Clinical Social Work practice with parents was confirmed. Nine of thirteen supportive psychodynamically grounded therapy techniques were highlighted, whereas the Clinical practice produced three more. The techniques permeated and shaped the author's Clinical Social Work intervention, and a follow-up confirmed the reduction in mental health symptoms for the children and also increased parental satisfaction in response to the interventions.

psychodynamic Clinical Social Work practice with parents in child and adolescent mental health services a case study on the role of the father
Journal of Social Work Practice, 2010Co-Authors: George KarpetisAbstract:This case study presents a psychodynamic approach to Clinical Social Work practice with the father of a child who suffered from separation anxiety disorder symptoms. The theoretical background of the study is initially presented, followed by a description of the research setting and its participants. The clinician presents his Work through critical incidents of parent and practitioner narratives during the assessment and intervention process. The effectiveness of the intervention with the father/parents and the resulting reduction in the child's symptoms appeared to be the consequence of the father's improvement in his role as both parent and husband, which in turn affected positively the mother's improvement in her parent and wife roles. Support to the father's adult part/strengths and the handling of the practitioner's counter-transference feelings were important parameters in evaluating the effectiveness of the intervention.

guidelines for advancing Clinical Social Work practice through articulating practice competencies the toronto simulation model
Clinical Social Work Journal, 2021Co-Authors: Marion Bogo, Toula Kourgiantakis, David M Burns, Bryn King, Eunjung LeeAbstract:Knowledge for Clinical Social Work practice is ever evolving and consists of underlying explanatory concepts, practice models, and intervention skills. Conceptualization and identification of competencies for practice provides a bridge from knowledge and understanding to actual skills needed in Clinical sessions. Articulating competencies also guides education of students and provides grounded skills and behaviors needed for Clinical research. Analysis of simulation-based practice provides a useful methodology to identify generic practice competencies as well as competencies in specialized fields of practice. This paper presents a simulation education model and illustrates how the use of simulation enabled Clinical scholars to articulate core competencies in specialized areas of Social Work practice. Case examples and related competencies for practice with adolescents, victims of elder abuse, and in mental health practice will demonstrate this process. Examples are drawn from reflections on practice wisdom, analysis of experienced Social Work practitioners, and relevant literature. Resulting competencies contribute to scholarship for Clinical practice.

an integrated case formulation in Social Work toward developing a theory of a client
Smith College Studies in Social Work, 2016Co-Authors: Eunjung Lee, Henry TothAbstract:ABSTRACTAcknowledging the limitations of adhering to one particular theoretical orientation in helping clients with multiple issues, psychotherapy integration in treatment becomes a prominent trend in Clinical practice. However, we have few guidelines for an integrated case formulation. Also, there have been some concerns that available treatment options limit and even pre-determine how clinicians understand and formulate cases. In order to address these concerns, this article first critically reviews the psychotherapy integration movement and highlights Social Work contributions to this movement. Next, using a Clinical case example, we illustrate an integrated case formulation in Clinical Social Work practice, which comprehensively assesses a client-in-context from psychodynamic, behavioral, and cognitive approaches. We also delineate how Social Workers can directly link this integrated assessment to selecting the integrated treatment options to custom-fit with the idiosyncratic needs of the client. This...

Clinical significance of cross-cultural competencies (CCC) in Social Work practice
Journal of Social Work Practice, 2011Co-Authors: Eunjung LeeAbstract:Although culturally competent practice is ethically sound and sociopolitically valued, the ways in which cultural competencies affect clients' change processes have been little explored in either Clinical or cultural literatures. With few theoretical guidelines, Social Workers in their daily practice are faced with significant challenges to integrate both Clinically grounded and culturally competent practice in fostering clients' changes. This article proposes a theoretical integration of Clinically significant cultural practice in Social Work. Drawing from the therapeutic alliance research, this article proposes relationally focused cultural competencies to promote the construct of cross-cultural competencies (CCC). CCC has three roles that can promote changes in Clinical Social Work practice. It can (1) mediate the Working alliance; (2) serve as a pathway to a client's internal Working model of self and other; and (3) provide corrective emotional experience. The implications for cross-cultural psychothe...

ego psychology theory
Comprehensive Handbook of Social Work and Social Welfare, 2008Co-Authors: Eda G GoldsteinAbstract:Gaining recognition in the United States in the late 1930s and 1940s, ego psychology focuses on a person's ego functions, defenses, sense of mastery, coping capacities, and life cycle stages. It also draws attention to the impact of interpersonal relationships, the environment, and the culture on human functioning. BiopsychoSocial assessment, mobilizing client strengths, and the client-Worker relationship are at the core of ego-oriented intervention, which utilizes psychological and environmental techniques. Ego-oriented intervention has been applied to diverse problems and populations and its proponents have attempted to integrate many of the ideas and principles of culturally sensitive, affirmative, and empowering interventive approaches. There is increasing evidence for the utility of ego psychological interventions and ego psychology is still popular today among Social Work practitioners. Keywords: ego psychology; ego-oriented intervention; Clinical Social Work practice

Social Work Education and Clinical Learning: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow
Clinical Social Work Journal, 2007Co-Authors: Eda G GoldsteinAbstract:Social Work Education and Clinical Learning by Simpson, Williams, and Segall is a welcome and timely statement about the nature of Clinical Social Work and its implications for educational curricula. The authors took on an awesome task. Educating students for Clinical practice is increasingly more daunting than it has been previously and is in considerable disarray, if not a state of crisis. In addition to amplifying and expanding some of the major points the authors make, this discussion considers where we have been, where we are, and where we are going. It describes the educational landscape today, which the author views as bleak with respect to its preparation of students for Clinical Social Work practice. In keeping with Clinical Social Work’s inclusive definition that encompasses a broad knowledge base, diverse practice roles, and a wide range of interventions, this discussion emphasizes the importance of numerous unifying themes that help to distinguish Clinical Social Work from other approaches or from the use of a fragmented assemblage of techniques. The paper considers the role of evidence-based practice and makes some suggestions about future emphases in Clinical Social Work. It concludes with a call to alter the educational landscape.

what is Clinical Social Work looking back to move ahead
Clinical Social Work Journal, 1996Co-Authors: Eda G GoldsteinAbstract:This paper traces the evolution of the concept of Clinical Social Work and looks at where we are and where we are headed as Clinical Social Workers. It reaffirms the view that Clinical Social Workers intervene with clients presenting the full range of problems in a variety of facilities and in private practice and must draw on a broad knowledge base within a person-situation perspective and address the special needs of culturally diverse and oppressed populations. The paper also considers the move toward legal regulation, the role of private practice, the need for Clinical doctoral education, the importance of new models for Clinical research, and the significance of advocacy for a broad range of services to clients.
