THE GENERALIST INTERVENTION MODEL FOR SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE
The primary purpose of the social work profession is to work with client systems to alleviate social
and psychological problems and promote health and well- being. There are a number of theories of
human development that inform specific interventions, techniques, and approaches utilized in social
work practice, all of which are included as part of the generalist practice model. The generalist
practice model “uses an eclectic knowledge base and broad skill set within a professional practice
model to effect changes in clients’ environments”, according to social work scholars Ebear,
Csiernick, & Béchard (2008). The generalist practice model helps social workers to identify potential
stressors and other disruptions to the client systems’ equilibrium at the micro, mezzo, and macro
levels, so that social workers can work with clients to plan and implement appropriate interventions
that will support clients in attaining optimal social functioning.
