Overview
The purpose of this assignment is to enhance your understanding of how theoretical frameworks influence clinical practices in social work. By conducting interviews with clinical staff, you will investigate the theories applied in practice, their selection rationale, and their impact on client interventions. This task aims to connect theoretical knowledge with its practical application, fostering critical reflection on the integration of theory in effective and ethical social work practices. In order to complete the “Theoretical Basis of Practice Interview Worksheet,” meet with the clinical director or clinical staff/therapists in your field placement agency (or another agency) about the theoretical basis of their practice. If your field placement agency does not provide clinical services, interview a staff member that secures or refers clients for clinical services.
