Teaching & Learning in Social Work

JULY 14, 2021

Editor’s Note : This blog post is adapted from the Second Edition of the Social Media Toolkit for Social Work Field Educators. There are many reasons for social workers to have a personalized social media policy – to maintain boundaries, protect privacy and confidentiality, and model professional behavior. To be clear, I am not referring to the policy that your organization or institution might have, directing the faculty, staff, and students on when it is okay to use social media, b

Terminating in social work happens for many reasons, including the client not engaging in services, being referred out to another agency, or the client reaching all treatment goals and no longer requiring services. Ideally, termination is a gradual process, but in the field of social work, ideals may not always occur. Before we discuss the different pathways for termination, a good rule of thumb is to discuss termination with clients during the intake session.

Emotion regulation is the process of influencing one’s emotional experiences, including how intense an emotion is, how long the emotion lasts, and even what emotion one is feeling (Gross & Thompson, 2007). Understanding how people regulate their emotions well is a key question of interest for both basic and applied psychology researchers. However, basic and applied researchers have developed relatively independent lines of research about emotion regulation, using distinct operationalizations

Does anxiety have a meaning? I now recognise that, when I started out training as a psychologist, a tacit message I then imbibed was that it doesn't. Here's how I learned to think of it: Anxiety is just an aversive experience, an unwanted condition. It has a certain physiological, autonomic, cognitive and sensory character. Its reduction should be the central aim of such treatment as is provided to those who present because of it.
