SW 510 Social Work Practicum Instruction I - Year 1 Semester 2

This course is taken in the second semester and deepens students' understanding of the concepts of professionalism, ethics, clinical judgment, understanding theories of human development and behavior change with clients in the practice setting, the impact of policy on the clients they serve, social justice, and advocacy. This course also builds on concepts and theories covered earlier in the curriculum, such as psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, ego psychology, and self-psychology, and the presentation of more in-depth analysis of complex clinical assessments, differential diagnosis, and treatment planning/intervention efficacy evaluation.
