Using the Strengths-Based Model for Social Work Practice

From an Advantage-based customer's point of view, social workers can focus on the strengths and abilities of customers and families, not focusing on customer and family problems, bad behavior, and morbidity. Advantage-based approach applies the six principles for social worker experts to assist clients in using advantage-based models; while there are strengths in all areas, sometimes fair third party You should be careful. The goal is even in their crisis.

Because the idea of ​​building a superiority of human beings is the axiom of occupational social work (Saleebey, 2006a), in fact it is thought that the dominant view is consistent with the value of social work (Bogo , 2006). A superior model embodies the overall respect for individual dignity and identity (Noble et al., 2000; Platt, 2006; Saleebey, 2006 c), recognizes the way they experience and build social reality It is (Saleebey 2006b). The superiority point of view is a relatively new development in social work theory. In the early 1980s, the Institute for Social Welfare at Kansas University (Saleebey, 2008) began to deliberately expand the strengths of practicing social work. In 1989, Weick, Rapp, Sullivan, and Kishandt created the term "priority view" to solve the system that the practitioner can recognize the authorities and assets the customer has within the framework of the customer's life story It is Eimers.

The decision of social work practice is based on social worker's view model or theory. The viewpoint is a broad way to observe the interaction between human behavior and environment, strengths, weaknesses, values, beliefs. That is the whole picture of each individual action. In order to be able to make the necessary decisions to identify the cause, we need to analyze them and find ways to solve the problem and make decisions. From the 1970 's perspective of the ecosystem has been practiced in social work. It recognizes the relationship between the environment and the individual. In practicing social work, it helps to recognize the adverse effects of the environment and situation on individual families and groups. Power-based practice highlights personal self-determination. Regardless of their personal circumstances, they all have certain advantages, wisdom and knowledge.

Like all other aspects of social work practice, macro practice recognizes the strength of the interaction between individuals living in the social environment, as well as the ability to influence problem solving and to carry out the change within the community (Kretzman and McKnight, 1993). Considering the three basic models of community intervention by Rothman (1999), we can better understand the variation of the community as a whole. These three models provide advice on how to do community intervention, but today's community problem liquidity and instability often requires a more dynamic approach. Indeed, Rothman (1999) guarantees that these ideal models can only be used as a means of conceptualization, in fact "intervention methods overlap and use in mixed form".
