An exercise on helping people: Kindly respond to the following questions: (1) What do you anticipate are the major practice concerns for you moving forward this semester? (2) Write down one of your assumptions about What constitutes therapeutic change? Where does that belief come from? How may this assumption affect your work? I am starting social work internship in a k-5th grade charter school in the bronx next week. What do you believe to be the necessary conditions for the therapeutic change to occur? What are the curative factors (mechanisms of change) that must be provided in the therapeutic process in order for healing to occur? (3) What would you expect from the course regarding clinical skills and theoretical knowledge/content needed in your professional development?
