SOWK 614: Clinical Social Work Practice in Health Care
Description
This course will view the practice of social work in health care as the integration of physical and mental health. We will explore in depth the biopsychosocial concomitants of physical and mental disorders. The integration of both health and mental health has implications for assessment and intervention and relies upon a person-centered/relation-centered framework. Content is organized around domains of health/mental health care over the life course. Intervention strategies will be geared towards assessment, prevention, palliation, and rehabilitation of individuals and families with a diagnosis of an illness in a variety of health care settings.
