Social workers must move beyond a conceptual understanding of theory to the practical application of theories that inform interventions with individuals, families, groups, and other client systems. This skills- based course prepares students to apply a variety of clinical theories to social work tasks such as: assessing and engaging clients, developing treatment plans (i.e., goals, outcomes), structuring and pacing interventions, and approaching the therapeutic relationship.
