Students in this course will concentrate on the application of evidence-based practice theories and group work models consistent with MI and ecological perspectives. Using MI as it theoretical base, students will demonstrate clinical practice skills in the assessment, intervention and evaluation of family systems and groups. This course will focus on the influence of social work professional values in working with families and on group work practice. At the completion of this course, students will be prepared to demonstrate knowledge, values, skills and cognitive and affective processes relating to direct practice with families, groups, communities and organizations. Students will complete an immersion experience at the end of this course.

MSW514 - Human Behavior II in the Social Environment II - This advanced course is designed to prepare students for clinical social work practice that reflects an advanced understanding of life-span development and socio-psychological identity development in individuals, families, groups and communities. Throughout this course, students will use their learning around life-span development and socio-psychological identity development to understand human behavior and, particularly, individual and family functioning within the environmental context. With an emphasis on ethical practice in social work, this course gives students the opportunity to use this information to inform their assessments, evaluations, interventions and advocacy for their clients.
