NARRATIVE THEORY AND PRACTICE IN SOCIAL WORK

Grad Social Work (MSWK) Social Science Graduate

Course Description

Social workers are continually searching for ways to engage clients, and to help them grow in their understanding of themselves and the meaning oftheir experience. In this way, we strive to help our clients find healing, growth, and deeper satisfaction in their daily living. Narrative offers a clinical approach that is as rich as it may be complex. This one credit intensive course will present an introduction to contemporary narrative theory and its application to a number of topics pertinent to social work practice today, including race and ethnicity, immigration, trauma, and grief and loss. The course will offer an understanding of the narrative approach to clinical practice as well as how to apply that approach to
intervention with clients. Additionally, the application of narrative to mezzo and macro level social work practice will be explored.
