Course Aims | ||||||||
Along with contemporary social development, social and human issues, such as family problems, youth growth and development, mid-age crises, elderly problems, substance abuse, compulsive sexual behaviours or mental health and mental wellness, happening locally and internationally have become diversified and increasingly complicated. In response to current social and human problems, new knowledge and evidence-based intervention approaches are flourished. To keep up social work students with the most up-to-date social and knowledge development, this module deals with social work intervention approaches which include both conventional practice models for new problems and new practice models for old problems. It seeks to reveal the philosophical underpinnings, assumptions and characteristics of selected intervention approaches, and embrace diverse values and interpretations to issues concerned, and how to realize such interpretation in terms of approaches, and what particular process and skills are needed to implement such practice models. The module aims to raise the awareness to the diversity of practice and cultivate a more flexible and eclectic mindset in handling social and human issues.?? | ||||||||
