Interview two MSW-holding social workers about their practice. If possible, interview MSWs working with a variety of client systems (individuals, families, groups, communities). Obtain their views about all of the following: The theories/models of practice they use in working with their clients. What makes their work interesting and stimulating. Constraints they encounter in delivering services and working with their clients. Their perceptions of the effectiveness of their work and how they evaluate their effectiveness. The professional social work values they demonstrate in their practice. Ways that they engage in life-long learning; how they stay current in their practice. Prepare a 4-5 page (not including the title and reference pages) narrative of your interviews. Your paper should: Summarize the various responses you obtained in your interviews; Highlight information that you found particularly interesting or surprising; Identify at least one practice recommendation that you would give to each social worker that you interviewed (although they do not have to be shared with your subject); Identify what other questions or topics you would have found useful in your interviews; and Integrate readings regarding practice effectiveness and theoretical models. Note: Make sure to provide in-text citations and references for any sources that you use regarding theories/models as well as the NASW Code of Ethics.Show more
