LU_Disciplines and Ideas in the Applied Social Sciences_Module5  Target The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) in the US defined social work as the professional activity of helping individuals, groups or communities enhance or restore their capacity for social functioning and creating societal conditions favorable to the goal. Moreover, Morales and Sheafor (1983) identified and described the fields included in the area of social work, which are as follows: social work as a primary discipline, social work as an equal partner, and social work as a secondary discipline. Since the principal mission of social work profession is to develop human beings and assist other institutions in attaining basic human needs or the people and in empowering the lost, the least, and the last, Morales and Sheafor (1983) also classified and specified three (3) distinguishing goals of social work namely: caring, curing, and changing. In today’s module, we will be continuing the journey in identifying the goals and scope of social work to understand why social services are needed in the society. Additionally, we will be also covering the principles and core values of social work. The scope of social work indicates the wide array of services that the profession provides, therefore, to preserve the integrity and find meaning in this profession, it is also important to uphold its principles and values. After going through this module, you are expected to explain the principles and core values of social work (HUMSS_DIASS 12-Ie-18) and enumerate and explain the goals and scope of social work (HUMSS_DIASS 12- Ie-16). Before continuing to the major chunk, let’s see how far you got in today’s lesson.

LESSON Goals and Scope of Social Work 1 GOALS OF SOCIAL WORK The principal mission of social work profession is to develop human beings and assist other institutions in attaining the basic human needs the people and in empowering the lost, the least, and the last (dela Cruz, et. al., 2016). Catalyzing mission of the social work profession are the goals of social work. Morales and Sheafor (1983) specified three (3) distinguishing goals of social work namely: caring, curing, and changing. These goals are outlined and described below: 1. The Goal on Caring Caring is dubbed as the heart of social work and it focuses on the well- being or the welfare and comfort of the individual and community. Goals in caring involve the enhancement of the quality of life in prisons, the upgrading and humanizing services in nursing homes and juvenile facilities, and the constant advancement of care given to populations in need. 3 LU_Disciplines and Ideas in the Applied Social Sciences_Module5 The caring portion is significantly necessary in the effective execution of social work's role in the society. The need for the caring function increases and it is realized that in the field of social work the curative function is inadequate in our goal to improve the situation of people in need. In the context of a more complicated and problematic social situation, we expect an increased number of more disturbed clients in many social institutions which require the enhancement of the caring aspect of services. 2. The Goal on Curing Curing refers to the aspect of treating people with problems in social functioning. This covers a range of aiding techniques for individuals, families, and groups. Techniques are compose of: (a) popular counseling approaches comprising of transactional analysis, family therapy, gestalt family therapy, behavior modification, and reality therapy, and (b) unpopular approaches such as Rolfing therapy, psychomotor therapy, and psychodrama. The above techniques are the individual-focused approaches which may not automatically provide an effective method of helping clients toward social functioning. It is necessary to facilitate the participation of the clients in the helping process and create an appropriate environment for them. 3. The Goal on Changing Changing refers to the active participation of the social workers in social reforms. This goal comes from a perspective that there is a persistence of poverty, environmental destruction, and social disintegration. It recognizes that the political, economic, and social structures add in the worsening of social conditions. This reality puts the poor and the needy in a more challenging situation which consequently becomes a critical concern of social institutions and the social work profession. It is therefore vital for the social workers to be aware and be actively vigilant in identifying structures that exacerbate the situation and deepen social destruction. Social reforms are necessary to improve the social services and the quality of life of those in need. This is one of the most significant goals because it contributes in the struggle to pursue a lasting social change. 4 LU_Disciplines and Ideas in the Applied Social Sciences_Module5 SCOPE OF SOCIAL WORK Because of varied human problems, a widened scope and field of social work also emerged from the scene. Child development, medical social work, clinical social work, administrative and management, social work, international social work, social work in acute psychiatric hospital, and social work as community organizer are some of the scopes of social work according to Lishman et al., 2014. As cited by dela Cruz, et. al., 2016, Morales and Sheaftor (1983) identified and described fields included in the area of social work, which are follows: 1. Social Work as a Primary Discipline a. In terms of child welfare, social work offers adoption and services to unmarried parents, foster care, residential care, support in own home, and protective services. b. In terms of family services, social work offers family counseling, family life education, and family planning. c. In terms of income maintenance, social work offers public assistance, social insurances, and other income maintenance programs. 2. Social Work as a Primary Discipline a. In terms of aging, social work offers support for people in their own homes and support for people in long-term care facilities. b. In terms of community services, social work offers community organization, community planning, and community development. c. In terms of youth and group services, social work offers recreational and educational facilities such as YMCA and scouting and settlement houses. Other activities such as crafts, sports, camping, friendship groups, drama, music, informal counseling, and other groups of participation are also provided for. d. In terms of mental health and retardation, social work refers to: (a) initially, the institutionalizing of the victims through individual treatment in hospitals; (b) due to the influence of the family and community in the improvement of 5 LU_Disciplines and Ideas in the Applied Social Sciences_Module5 the patient, the movement to deinstitutionalize by bringing them to foster homes and residential care came into fruition. 3. Social Work as a Secondary Discipline Social workers are also present in the correctional facilities. They provide counseling and serve as link to the outside world, comprising of the family, potential employers, and the community service network that will provide support upon release. a. In terms of industry, social workers act as a support to both the managers and the employees of the companies. They make themselves available to the employees with social problems for individual, family, and group counseling. They also provide information to the managers as basis for management decisions that might have an impact on the social atmosphere in the working environment. b. In terms of medical and health care, social workers attend to the social and psychological factors that are contributing to the medical condition of the patients. They also link patients with community resources, provide necessary counseling, and link with self-help groups. c. In terms of schools, Lela Costin (as cited by Morales and Sheafor, 1983) has identified seven (7) primary tasks of social workers in schools: Facilitate the provision of direct educational and social services and provide direct social case work and group work services to selected students; Act as a pupil advocate, focusing on urgent needs of the selected group of students; Consult with school administrators’ major problems toward which a planned service approach will be aimed; Consult with teachers about techniques for creating a climate in which children are freed and motivated to learn by interpreting social and cultural influences in the lives of students, facilitating use of peers to help a troubled child, or assisting in managing relationships in the classroom; Organize parent and community groups to channel concerns about students and the school to improve school and community relations, 6 LU_Disciplines and Ideas in the Applied Social Sciences_Module5  Develop and maintain liaison between the school and critical fields of social work such as child welfare, corrections, mental health, and legal services for the poor Provide leadership in the coordination of interdisciplinary skills among student services personnel such as guidance counselors, clinic staff, psychologists, and attendant officers. The scope of social work discussed above indicates the wide array of services that this profession provides. To preserve the integrity and find meaning in this profession, it is also important to uphold its core values LESSON Principles and Core Values 2 of Social Work Acceptance Client's participationin problem-solving Self-determination PRINCIPLES OF Individualization SOCIAL WORK Confidentiality Worker self-awareness Client-worker relationship T a b l e 1: Principles of Social Work by Friedlander (1985) and Biestek (1957) as Cited by Mendoza (2002) Social work is based on respect for the inherent worth and dignity of all people and it is cultivated by altruistic and democratic principles.

They serve as guiding principles that shape the behavior and action of its members in interacting with their clients and other people. Social work has its own core values----values that are shared by the social work profession. These are the following: 1. Right to self-fulfillment - Each person has the right to self- fulfillment which is derived from his/her inherent capacity and thrust toward the goal. 2. Responsibility to common good - Each person has the responsibility as a member of the society to seek ways of fulfillment that contribute to common good. 3. Responsibility of the society - The society has the 8 LU_Disciplines and Ideas in the Applied Social Sciences_Module5  responsibility to facilitate self-fulfillment of the individual and the right to enrichment through the contribution of its individual members. 4. Right to satisfy basic needs - Each person requires for the harmonious development of his powers socially provided and socially safeguarded opportunities for satisfying his/her basic needs in the physical, psychological, economic, cultural, aesthetic, and spiritual realms. 5. Social organizations required to facilitate individual’s effort at self- realization- The notion that individual and society are interdependent provides a perspectives that the society has the responsibility to provide appropriate social resources, it is the right of the individual to promote change in social resources that do not serve his/her need-meeting efforts. 6. Self-realization and contribution to society- To permit both self- realization and contribution to society by the individual, social organization must make available socially-provided devices for need-satisfaction as wide in range, variety, and quality as the general welfare allows.
