Termination Of A Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Program: Social Worker Interaction
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. One can readily argue that the process a social worker goes through when her session with a client is about to be terminated bears significant similarity to the separation between a parent and a child. Indeed, the role of a social worker is to nurture and rebuild, two integral components of the typical parent/child relationship. For those social workers who lead group rehabilitation clinics for substance abusers that last for several months at a time, the termination at the end of the session would be as emotionally difficult for the social worker as it is for each client.

The Change In Family Structure
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. The family unit is an ever-changing entity in today's society; unlike sixty years ago when families consisted of a father who worked outside the home, a wife who maintained the household, children who appreciated the simpler things in life and a cohesion among all members that came from spending quality time together especially over the evening meal, contemporary families hardly resemble this fairytale description anymore. Each member of the twenty-first century family unit is to busy with the pressure to succeed - either in school or the workplace - to have much meaningful interaction with the others. Everything - even recreation - is approached at breakneck speed because there is simply too much to fit into a single day. The dismal result of today's impact upon families is such that communication, discipline and supervision are all but nonexistent. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
