The Multirole Practitioner in the Generic Orientation to Social Work Practice

Generic Social Work practice theory is at a promising stage of development. Utilizing concepts from systems theory a number of new holistic practice models are now available which can be applied in any setting. A further frame of reference is required that captures the wide range of social work activity. The aim of this paper is to propose eight tasks and thirteen common roles of practice which are presented in the form of a model designed to delineate the role and task matrix of the generic practitioner. Practice experience suggests that these tasks and roles constantly merge into, or follow one another. Some of the roles and tasks seem better understood and theoretically developed than others. The formulation that is offered is currently being empirically tested. Practitioners, educators and practice researchers are invited to specify the roles and tasks they regard as central to practice, to check these against the model offered here, and to present any fundamental differences in forms that lend themselves to empirical research.

A Continuing Education Curriculum for the Graduate Social Worker

Abstract This paper outlines a curriculum model for the continuing education of graduate social workers. The curriculum plan is based on the assumption that western industrial man has entered a new era—the cybercultural era. The paper argues that the graduate practitioner must be retooled to fit the conditions and circumstances of the new era. Eight knowledge areas are explored as priorities in this continuing education plan: the nature of global ecology, the nature of mass organization, the nature of youth, the nature of the new economy, the nature of contemporary politics, the nature of inter group communications, the nature of professionalization, and the condition of social work theory. Through the exploration of these knowledge areas, it is felt that a new updated social work practice theory will be developed.
