¶ … Ethics and Best Practices
Social assistance as a tool to combat marital issues
Michelle's former husband would probably be inclined to resort to unorthodox methods of accessing her files. As a consequence, I would get actively involved in providing him with the opportunity to see things from a general perspective. By emphasizing the fact that he risks facing legal problems if he continues to harass his wife, I would attempt to enable him to move on with his life and accept that Michelle does not want to see him anymore. My role is to respect Michelle's position in this situation and this would require that I employ a hostile attitude with regard to showing her husband information concerning the woman.
Michelle is likely to cooperate with me in the process of informing her husband with regard to the condition their relationship is in. The fact that she has a history in dealing with the institution I work for makes it easier for me to interact with her and to influence her to be as truthful as possible in order for me to provide an effective solution to the issue.
A strength-based practice would certainly play an important role in this situation. Michelle's decision to prevent her husband from becoming familiar with her current condition is likely owed to her wanting to have nothing to do with him. As a consequence, the institution as a whole would have to focus on assisting the woman in her struggle to improve her life while trying to rupture connections with her past. We would...
Her former husband is probably one of the reasons why she had trouble in the past and it would thus be essential for us to provide her with the help she needs in the present.
Question 2.
Michelle is a woman who had separated from her husband and who is currently trying to restructure her life. The welfare institution I work in is in charge of her case and provides her with a series of privileges meant to make it easier for her to reintegrate the social order. The client's main problem is the fact that she had a tumultuous past and that this thus makes it difficult for her to recover. Her former husband's presence in her life further complicates matters, as even though she is trying to avoid any form of interaction with him, he is persistent and unhesitant about lying with regard to their marital status in order to get the welfare institution to provide him with information on his wife.
As a social worker, I came across an ethical dilemma as I was presented with this man standing before me and asking to see information on his former wife. I could understand he was desperate and that he most probably wanted to see her in an attempt to get back together with the woman. However, Michelle's decision to put an end to their marriage must have come as a result of irreconcilable problems that the couple experience during the marriage. As a consequence, it would have been wrong…
Social work played a role in these processes in different ways, based on the existing perception about women and femininity. The profession itself has a range of ideological origins. Some people suggest that it is a continuance of the benevolent and charitable traditions linked to the functions of various Churches; others search for its roots in social movements, especially in the labor agencies and the women's movement. Various welfare regimes
AbstractAlthough the social justice issue of child sexual trafficking is widely regarded by the American public as a problem that is faced by other nations, particularly impoverished developing countries, the harsh reality is that child sex trafficking routinely occurs in the United States as well. While exact numbers about its prevalence in the United States are unavailable, it is known that sex trafficking, including men, women and children, occurs in
Married couples have statutory rights to represent one another's financial and other confidential interests and they have mutual decision-making rights in circumstances where either individual becomes incapable of making important decisions. By contrast, non-married pair-bonded couples do not acquire those statutory rights and protections. From the Conflict Theory sociological perspective, the current controversy surrounding same-sex marriage would emphasize the distinction between groups promoting same-sex marriage rights and groups opposed to
Predicting Marital Success or Failure Climbing divorce rates and the redefining of traditional relationships in the latter half of the twentieth century have put a spotlight on the ideal of marriage. Adjusting gender roles, greater disposable income, globalization, and the acceleration of technology and social change have contributed to the way individuals engage in relationships, and consequently marriage. The increase in divorce rates has provoked researchers and marriage counselors to
Relationship Challenges -- Family Communication Issues The high divorce rate in the United States (and elsewhere in Western nations) is one indication as to the fact that good communication -- or any communication at all -- is absent from relationships. Certainly there are always challenges to any relationship, but couples should be going into marriage and long-term relationships with the understanding that they will have challenges and without training or background
London Housing The research was undertaken to study the link between inequality and depravity, poverty and crime in the housing structures of London. The study found that there is wide spread economic disparity in London. This divide is evident in the living styles and the types of housing structures that people live in. The council or housing estates of the city are primarily the residences of the lower income families. This
