SOCIAL WORK

SOCW 6090 – PSYCHOPATHOLOGY AND DAIGNOSIS FOR SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE

Assignment: Case Collaboration Meeting

Collaboration is a key part of social work practice. Most MSW professionals engage in these processes during the postgraduate practice years that each state requires before their licensing moves from supervised to independent status. Even beyond those requirements, peer consultation and collaboration are key aspects of most social work practice settings.

For this Assignment, your Instructor has paired you with a consultation colleague. Imagine that you and your colleague are working with the client featured in the case study your Instructor assigned. Your task is to provide a diagnosis and present your findings in the Week 7 Discussion.

Your diagnosis can come from any part of the DSM-5, so frequent communication and research with your colleague may be needed. Your colleague is there to help you think out, consult on, challenge, research, and polish your process before you record and post your own final analysis of this case in Week 7.

The collaboration that begins in this Assignment is intended to provide a safe venue for developing your differential diagnosis and case discussion skills with your colleague. This week you meet with your assigned partner at least once via Collaborate Ultra and begin considering the assigned case. You are asked to meet in Collaborate Ultra this week in order to practice this technology, which will be required as part of next week’s Assignment. In this week’s Assignment, you describe that meeting and any initial analysis of the case.

To prepare:

• Using the case study provided to you by your instructor.

• Consult the Case Collaboration Meeting Guidelines document found in the Learning Resources.

• Read ahead to the Week 7 Discussion instructions so that you can plan and reflect accordingly.

 

Note: In the Week 7 Discussion, you make your final findings presentation as an individual, not with your partner.
