Special attention will be given to the competencies of case management and interviewing, emphasizing communication skills and management of the helping relationship. The generalist perspective from social work will be used in a context of multiculturalism. Professional values and ethics will be employed as guiding principles to micro practice skills and decisions. In a practice course students should be prepared to take an active role in “hands-on” learning using demonstrations, dyads and small group-work. Cross-listed HS300
