Clinical Social Work and Social Administration: Bridging the Culture Gap
Abstract
All social workers -- direct practitioners, administrators, &
academics -- share a basic knowledge & value base, &, to a
lesser extent, a common skill base. United by a consumer orientation
& focus, they are bound also by social institutions as a locus for
practice, & are commonly committed to participatory decision
making & the humanizing of both consumer & work environments.
Interviewing, communicating, relationship building, assessment,
environmental sensing, & use of data are all processes commonly
employed by social workers; similarly, processes of identification of
conflict, contracting, monitoring, & feedback are also shared.
However, in application, administrators use these processes
differently than do clinical social workers. The integration of
administrative content into the education of the clinician can
strengthen both clinical & administrative practice, & can be a
vehicle for policy development. 13 References. AA.
