Unit Introduction and What You Will Learn

Week 11 is a continuation of the work we started in Week 10 Planning in Generalist Practice. This week takes some specific aspects of planning and getting started with the change process and has students dive into more depth with interactive activities. The plan is as follows:

  • The process of cognitive restructuring
  • Thinking distortions
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Application
  • Goals & Objectives
  • Keeping everything organized

Unit Resources

We will be talking some about documentation. Reamer provides a useful description of what social workers should be thinking about in regards to documentation. He reports about six primary functions of documentations. These include:

(1) assessment and planning; (2) service delivery; (3) continuity and coordination of services; (4) supervision; (5) service evaluation; and (6) accountability to clients, insurers, agencies, other providers, courts, and utilization review bodies. (p. 326)

I would recommend student take some time and review the article and consider how it will impact their documentation.
