For the purpose of this discussion, ‘social psychiatry’ is defined as an attitude or a perspective; its activity or services is ‘community mental health’. The social work methods, casework, group-work, and community organization, will be considered as contributors to community mental health. Social work is an ideological forerunner of social psychiatry; the notion of the interdependence of psychic and social factors as determinants of human behaviour. Claims of exclusivity in community mental health made by psychiatry are being questioned by psychiatrists themselves. Social work can participate in providing community mental health services through its traditional methods regardless of category of client, and in contributing a better understanding of some of the social determinants of mental illness through research. With the chronic mental patient in the realm of rehabilitation and provision, with the ambulatory patient, social work's goal would be rehabilitation and provision, but in addition, there would be secondary prevention. With the ‘mental illness prone’, social work through its traditional methods makes but a minimal contribution, The goal being primarily preventive. Contribution is being made through formal and informal consultative activities with related professions in places where the target population can be reached. The role of social work can be enhanced if new developments bear fruit. At times society is the patient and the intervention should be directed at the reduction or elimination of the social pathologies and at the malfunctioning of our social systems. Social work thus might intervene in the social structure through the creation of new services and the more effective delivery of these services, the designing of new policies and programs in social welfare, the participation in urban planning and urban renewal and the participation in the creation of change in the ‘culture’ of society. The problems which remain involved are the functional differentiation among the several mental health professions, the deployment and interrelationships of professional and sub-professional personnel in social welfare and the implication for professional education. In conclusion the following questions are raised: what societal problems cause what categories of the population to be more prone to mental illness and emotional upheaval. Are we correct in placing under the rubric ‘mental illness’ some of the by-products of our urban highly technological civilization and would interdisciplinary epidemological research coupled with experimental intervention programs be appropriate to obtain answers to questions such as the ones posed above?

This presentation describes the different processes and steps taken by two faculty members from the social work department and a group of students to start a Center for Student Recovery (CSR) at a small private university in central Texas serving mostly first-generation Hispanic students. The presentation highlights the unique history of the university and how its mission and values align with the creation of a CSR, making it the first private catholic university with this type of service to its student population.  Additionally, the presentation showcases the different stages undergone by the stakeholders to get to the point of student involvement.  The stages include the social work department obtaining part of an SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment) grant which allowed for training to be embedded in certain classes which sparked conversations of substance and alcohol use among the student population. It also included a student health survey that provided a snapshot of the state of substance and alcohol use on campus, and the approval of a proposal presented to the University’s board of trustee and president. Emphasis is given to the process of recruiting the student leadership, the student’s motivation and their role in the creation of the CSR.

Work Integrated Learning

Summary: Practice learning opportunities form an integral part of studies of social work on the Social Pedagogy program at University West in Sweden and, over a period spanning several years, we have developed a reflective approach to both campus and practice learning. Over the last four years we have worked with a narrative approach to the creation of knowledge from practice learning and for examining the learning outcomes that derive from this educational process. The aim of this article is to describe and discuss the narrative approach to the creation of knowledge using the so-called ‘storytelling method’ as an educational resource for eliciting evidence of learning outcomes in practice learning. We have used this approach to capture the learning that takes place when students are on learning opportunity placements in the social work/social pedagogical field, both nationally and internationally. The article describes both the educational context where storytelling takes place, and the research focus on work integrated learning that led to the implementation of this pedagogical tool. We will also describe and analyse how we use the ‘storytelling method’ with a focus on how it can be used to ‘evidence’ students’ learning.

The attention sustainability and its impact of social status in the class are current issues concerning the field of education are the reasons for delay in assimilating the learning material and early school dropout. Behind both of those problems stand psychological causes such as low attention sustainability, poor communication skills and lack of positive environment. The presented article aims to prove that sustainability of attention directly influences the social status of students in the class, and hence their overall development and the way they feel in the group. Making efforts to increase students’ attention sustainability could lead to an increase in the social status of the student and hence the creation of a favorable and positive environment for the overall development of the individual.

Social work literature, research, and practice on disabilities has lagged behind other topical areas dealing with oppressed groups. The social work literature remains “expert focused” and generally fragmented into discussions of specific disabilities or subpopulations. A viable general model that deals with the personal experience of disability is not available. This exploratory study presents a social work literature search and analysis as well as interviews with six individuals with disabilities about their experiences with social workers. Individuals with disabilities assert that they were treated as though they had categorically fewer aspirations, abilities, and perhaps even fundamental rights than did nondisabled people. This study provides a base for follow-up research on models of consumer-focused social work practice in the area of disability.
