SOWK 1001 - Interviewing and Writing Techniques for Social Workers


Credits: 3

This course provides foundation knowledge and practice of interviewing, process recording and writing for generalist social work practice. It is organized as an experimental laboratory to build good interviewing and writing skills. Two important components of the course are interviewing and recording. Essential interviewing skills are analyzed for their appropriate application with different populations, in particular women, people of color and different ethnicities, person with disabilities and gay and lesbian persons. The problem solving and solution building model is coupled with a combination of video analysis system for teaching single-skill units of interviewing and a program method text approach for learning interviewing skills.
