The change-oriented approaches aim to facilitate the attainment of goals or respond to a mandate in the case of involuntary clients. The approaches are:
- The task-centered model
- The crisis intervention model
- The cognitive restructuring technique
- The solution-focused brief treatment model
- Case management practice
In planning goal attainment strategies, it is important to choose an intervention that makes sense to both the social worker and the client is also relevant to the client’s situation.
- In selecting the intervention, the social worker should ideally address the following questions:
- Is the approach appropriate for addressing the problem and the service goals?
- What empirical or conceptual evidence supports the effectiveness of the approach?
- Is the approach compatible with the basic ethics and values of social work?
- Am I sufficiently knowledgeable and skilled enough in this approach to use it with others?
Remember this is worth 30 points and must be 250 to 350 words to be considered substantive with at least one reference.
Choose one of the Change-Oriented Approaches:

- Identify why you are most drawn to this approach?
- Identify a client problem or situation in which this approach may be used.
Do not forget to use references and cite accordingly.
