Theory that relates to two scenarios

Case 2

For this scenario “the task centre” social work strategy would work best. The task

centered strategies contain a structured approach in which the service user is firstly assisted by

the social worker in articulating the issues in the methods perceived by the service users.

Subsequently the service user is helped by the social worker to breakdown and details the issues,

taking care for redefining them whenever necessary and furthermore helping the user of service

to locate the areas for action (Teater, 2010, p.5). Finally the service user is motivated by the

social worker to prioritise and categorise her or his individual issue in line with her or his

perceptions and thoughts. Thereafter the service user and social worker work with one another to

identify and specify the results, asses and review the progress, and agree to contact. The social

workers who utilize the approach of task centred must be able to engage service users positively

and built confidence and trust in them.

Focusing on a task-oriented approach showed that the unfocused support provided by the

psychosocial approach and the contextual analysis strategy caused a decrease in customer

expectations and self-esteem for long periods of time. In addition, it has created negative trust

and useless connections with explicit associations or specific social workers. In addition, it was

noted that the establishment of a time frame for achieving explicit results helped to create

expectations about the possibility of rapid changes and greater vitality and inspiration for

members.

Although the task-oriented approach turned out to be for all purposes and for clients, and

also served, reduced and improved the use of limited social work assets, it also contributed to the

transition to an individual-oriented approach, which invalidates the expert assumption being a

 Social Work 3

major source of potential, and helped to achieve a more pronounced increase and decrease in

persecution. The focus on the task is to pay attention to the social and external problems that

affect people, and not to consider people and their psychic chronicles as the main driving force

of their problems (Rathbone, 1983, p.98). The task-oriented approach includes an organized

strategy in which the social worker helps the service user to formulate the problems of the routes

that the users of the service see. Therefore, social workers encourage the user of the service to

detail and analyze problems, taking into account the need to reclassify when necessary, and help

the user of the service to find areas vital to the activity. The social worker finally encourages the

service user to organize and organize their individual problems in accordance with their

distinction. From this point on, the social worker and the user of the service work in partnership

(a) to indicate and recognize the results, (b) consent to the conclusion of contracts and (c) an

audit and survey progress (Doel, 2017, p.45).

Case 4

For the case study the system approach theory will be used. Human behavior is explained

by the system theory as the connection of the effects of different interrelated systems. For

individual problems even, societies, organisations, families, and other “systems” are involved

inherently and should be considered by the social worker when trying to assist and understand

the needs of a service user. All systems, according to this theory, are interlinked parts

establishing a systematic whole and every subsystem effects other parts of whole. System

approach is categorised by “groups” that of parts which links to produce a whole, recommending

social intervention by the help of an individual. This approach works by analyzing and observing
 Social Work 4

the systems included that contribute to the behavior of a service user and welfare working for

strengthening those systems (Payne, 2014, p.54).

This allowed the experts to consider how the dynamics always change, since each part of

the family controls life both inside and outside the family. It also presented thoughts on family

boundaries and their porosity. This ruled out reasoning from a direct causal link and made it

possible to have a round causality, except for the fact that a powerful person who exercises

harassment, fear, money, and psychic influence commits the coordinated abuse of children. An

approximate explanation of the thoughts about family therapy showed that it had forgiven the

guilty, especially when a “no-blame” culture was used in family work(Forder, 1982, pp.4-10).

Various assessments have adequately shown that some of the distinctive methods and schools of

family therapy are manipulative and even contradictory.
