Parents may come to a social worker for help in controlling and disciplining their child(ren). An approach
that asserts that the issue rests solely with the child comes from a medical model which emphasizes fixing what is broken by addressing the symptoms. Social workers come from a more holistic approach called

  1. Family Counseling
  2. Interactive Assessment
  3. Person-in-Environment
  4. Behavior Therapy

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Person-in-environment looks at all the factors that affect behavior including the environmental circumstances. In the case of a misbehaving child, understanding the environment in which they are misbehaving, including how the parent actually disciplines is a far better approach than viewing the child as "broken" because he or she misbehaves.



Lisa is a 14-year-old adolescent who skips school on a regular basis. She normally misses at least two days per week and reports just staying home in bed. The teen complains of being tired all the time and cannot function at school most days. A clinical social worker will identify a target behavior conducting a thorough assessment and formulating a treatment plan. What type of problem solving should be initiated by the social worker?

  1. Authoritative
  2. Self-centered
  3. Collaborative
  4. Independent

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The clinical social worker should initiate collaborative problem solving. The social worker and the client together will determine what the ultimate outcome should be with therapy, and the client will work towards that goal. If Lisa is included in the process of formulating her own treatment plan, she may be better engaged in treatment.



Crisis is a normal part of life, and individuals try to maintain equilibrium by using coping mechanisms. Sometimes the usual techniques do not work when a problem is threatening. People in crisis may experience guilt, feelings of anxiety, helplessness, and fear. Which of the following criteria are used to determine whether a situation constitutes a crisis?

  1. An individual's view and response to an event
  2. How others view and respond to an event
  3. Instincts on what is threatening
  4. Conditioning as to what defines a crisis

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

When an individual sees an event as threatening with no way to cope, he or she may find themselves in crisis. This is a state of psychological disequilibrium with a number of indicators. Changes will be observed in energy levels, ability to concentrate, sleeping patterns, and social interaction with friends or relatives.



A short-term, problem-solving approach to clinical social work practice consists of three phases. The initial phase is centered on setting up initial tasks. The middle phase consists of evaluating the outcomes of tasks and identifying obstacles to achieve said outcomes. Lastly is the termination phase, which emphasizes what the client has learned or accomplished.
Which of the following problem-solving approaches is described above?

  1. Psychoanalytic approach
  2. Cognitive behavioral approach
  3. Solution-focused therapy
  4. Self-centered approach

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Solution-focused therapy addresses problems that arise in people's interactions with their environments. Efforts are made to help individuals generalize problem-solving techniques for use in the future. Solution-focused therapy is short-term and highly focused.
