Summary of the subject: Clinical social work is defined as a specialized area of
social work practice that includes the diagnosis,
treatment and prevention of mental illness, as well as
assisting people in solving psychological, emotional,
behavioral and / or social problems that affect their
quality of life. This means intervening in situations of
trauma, family conflicts, physical illness and difficult
life situations such as unemployment or drug addiction.
Clinical social workers work in a variety of settings,
including hospital wards (from pediatric emergency
care to oncology, cardiology, emergency care and
geriatrics), community health centers, child care
services, staff care programs, schools, and primary
care clinics. -sanitary care of abuse and drug
addiction clinics, programs for the treatment of eating
disorders, correctional facilities and hospices and
palliative care. Clinical social workers also have the
opportunity to conduct private practice.
Clinical social workers typically use a combination of
individual therapy, group therapy, and / or different
business responsibilities to support their clients,
depending on the work environment and the population they serve.
This area of social work is characterized by a holistic
approach "man in the environment"; Clinical social
workers not only assess and help solve their clients '
mental and emotional problems, but also work on
understanding how clients' problems interact with their
family, financial and social lives. Clinical social workers then use this understanding to help people function better in these family, social,
and socioeconomic contexts.
