SWK 624 - Feminist Approach to Clinical Practice with Individual and Families 3 Credit Hours
In this course, students will gain an understanding of feminist, multicultural, and social identity theories and how they can be used to understand the impact of social and cultural forces; specifically, status and power differences, oppression, social norms, and role expectations in the development of behavior, identity, health problems and solutions. Drawing from a strengths perspective approach in a global environment, students will develop the ability to articulate, analyze, implement, and evaluate a practice framework from human rights, advocacy and social justice perspective. Through a womanist/feminist lens, we will explore themes such as gay and lesbian couples, issues of race difference within a family, transracial adoption, resiliency of families, family separations as a result of immigration and immigration policies, and other issues as they related to contemporary families. The seminar format offers students an arena in which to critically analyze with growing sophistication the theoretical base underlying their work and the interplay of their own personal value frameworks with core social work ethics and values.
Prerequisite(s): Prerequisite: SWK 513 and SWK 553
