Social Work Practice with individuals: Intervention, Termination, and Evaluation
The begging of chapter five talks about the different the Strength-based, Narrative, and Solution-focused approach to to interventions.
I like all three of the intervention approaches, but mostly I like the way to use Strength-based approach (p.175). To me finding a positive in everyones life to build off off of even in tuff times helps a person see a positive light to their lives, rather than all the negative. Seeing one positive and building off of it allows a person to start seeing positively about difficulty situations; allowing them to feel like they can over come the negative in their life. I don’t really care for the briefness of solution-focused (p.177).

    Escape From Babel Summary

    Although not completely conceptualized until the concluding summary in the book, the title, Escape from Babel, is a biblical reference that alludes towards a characterization of the competing doctrines in psychotherapy at the twilight of 20th Century. Within the multitude of contending theories and models, each replete with their own distinctive verbiage and techniques, Scott D. Miller, Barry L. Duncan, and Mark A. Hubble suggest that a voice of unification can be found through focusing on the common factors that emanate from under each theories penumbra. Further, the already existent and thorough research literature on effective therapeutic approaches and outcomes provide the critical ingredients to efficiently and effectively work in the…

    Summary: Solution Focused Brief Therapy

    Solution Focused Brief Therapy I chose this modality of therapy to gain knowledge. I recognize that many of the other modalities rely on the therapist to be the expert on the individual’s problem or concern. I feel that we focus so much on how and where the problem came from and focusing on the past that we spend more time in the past rather than focusing on the positives. I also like this approach as it focus on what positive in one’s life that working for them and allows the individual to be the expert for finding a solution and the therapist becomes the coach is guiding through the solution process.…

    Social Work Theory Reflection

    This class has been a great experience for me and the most important thing that I learned in class came from the young adulthood, middle adulthood, and late adulthood interviews. Linking the interviews with the person I interviewed with the theories related to that age had help me become aware of how I will use these theories in practicing social work in all areas. Now that I am aware of the theories I seek out the person I am working with the past history of their life from childhood to now. Each human experience is different and important to know when working with an individual. For example, in the middle adulthood interview, Shawn had a good relationship with his children that were very important to him.…

    Social Work Value Based Practice

    #1 A. Social work is a value based practice and employs a two pronged approach. The juggling act, as it were, in social work is a 100 year old debate exploring if the goal of social work is that of seeking social reform or focusing on treating the individual. (Haynes, 1998) All the while seeking to do what is “good and desirable” (Bisman, C., 2004)…

    Portrait Of Addiction

    From the Portrait of Addiction video, the case that I chose was the case of Ray Diaz. Ray’s addiction was affecting his relationship with his girlfriend. Solution Focused Theory would be beneficial to Ray because this theory would help Ray understand his problem, and to come up with alternative ways to view Ray’s solutions (Lewis, 2014). The counselor would understand the client’s problem saturated story, and how the problem is affecting Ray’s core-being (Lewis, 2014).…

    Advantages Of Solution Focused Approach

    Moreover, I feel that a solution-focused approach would be beneficial for my client because my client would not require more then six sessions of counselling and my client does not fall within the medical model nor is my client diagnosed with a serious mental illness. According to Watkins and Kurtz (2001), solution-focused intervention can be valuable tool for working with students, especially those who have a high probability of being treated unfairly. Coming back to Ahmed, he is being treated unfairly by his oldest son Hassan with the constant yelling and emotional abuse. With this said, solution-focused approach would be beneficial to bring social justice for my client. Additionally, solution-focused therapy has other advantages.…

    Solution-Focused Theory In Family Therapy

    The ensuing case conceptualization will consider using the solution-focused theory to improve the lives of a family of three. This family lives in the same household and is comprised of a dad named Paul (age 35), his daughter named Alvonne (age 15), and Paul’s mother named Jenna (age 70). The subsequent approach will further explain Paul’s dilemma with an aging mother and “troublesome” teenage daughter, followed by a description of how this family is currently functioning. After that will be a view of this family’s problem from the solution-focused theory perspective along with a critique of the solution-focused theory. Next will be an explanation of how cultural issues impact this family’s presenting problem and subsequent intervention(s).…

    Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Counselors

    Similarities Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) counselors and Reality Therapy (RT) counselors both strive towards creating a relationship with their clients. In regards to SFBT, it is important for the counselor to have an understanding of the theory behind what they are practicing, but it is even more important that the counselor and client have a healthy working relationship that is built on collaboration (Winbolt, 2014). In order for a SFBT counselor to have success with their client, they must first establish a relationship. Without the foundation of a working relationship between the counselor and client, the goal of SFBT will be unreachable, even with the highest degree of training. Similarly, RT counselors must also begin their…

    Solution Focused Therapy

    In this paper, I have chosen to use Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), I have always liked this therapy due to its brief nature and how it focuses on solutions rather than the actual problem. I have strong beliefs that solution-focused is a useful intervention for many clients. Overall, I believe that solution-focused therapy is a helpful and effective model to help the individual think and act on change, rather than, dwelling on the problem that is causing them harm. I like that it is a brief intervention, which will be effective with most. Creating my genogram of my family assist me to identify family systems patterns and how those impact our current behavior and family system.…

    Solution Focused Therapy Reflection

    Reflecting back on the course of Interventions II, the coursework and in-residence portion had given me a better insight in learning how to define my personal and professional identity. The implementation of a “mock” clinical therapy sessions during the in-residence portion had been a challenge in the beginning due to the lack of having any type of background in conducting a therapy session. These therapy sessions provided the needed feedback from the instructor and my peers to gain a better understanding my theoretical orientations and areas in which I can work on to become a more competent therapist. The coursework that was provided through this course also assisted in having a better knowledge base for my future practice based on empirically…

    First day of my social work practicum – Today I arrived at the agency as early as 7:40 in the morning. Upon entering I am already looking in speaking with my supervisor and talk about what I will do on my first day. My supervisor is very accommodating, we started our conversation by discussing some matters such as: attendance, tasks, requirements, cases and other personal information. I also assumed that I would get my first case today however, I did not receive any as I still have to learn and familiarize myself to the agency’s protocols and procedures.
