Credits: (3)
Prerequisites: Admission to the MSW program.
This is an elective course for students who are in the MSW program.  It focuses on commonly employed models of social work practice with diverse families and couples.  This course is designed to help students develop a better understanding of the applications of specialized methods of social work practice and interventions with families/couples.  Specific treatment models, which have significantly contributed to social work practice with this targeted population, are studied.  Particular focus on the processes of assessment, intervention, and evaluation will be provided in order to increase the students’ social work skills and techniques as specifically related to working with this population.  Particular emphasis is given to interventions with rural families, as well as populations at risk.  It is expected that students will develop a more complete integration of knowledge, values and skills for practice with different types of family units in various social contexts.
