Case management theory and practice

This subject looks at theoretical frameworks and models of intervention in welfare casework practice. These include systems theory, feminist casework theory, problem solving theory, family theories, and crisis intervention theory. Particular attention is paid to the process of casework, and how theory is used to develop assessments and case plans in case work situations. There are no prescribed texts in this subject, rather, students are encouraged to read widely and adopt those texts which reflect their preferred theoretical frameworks.
