Social Work Clinical Board Exam Prep

Category - ASWB Clinical Board Test Prep

Parents may come to a social worker for help in controlling and disciplining their children. One approach asserts the issue rests solely with the child, and comes from a medical model which emphasizes fixing what is broken by addressing the symptoms. Social workers use a more holistic approach, called:

  1. Family Counseling
  2. Interactive Assessment
  3. Person-in-Environment
  4. Behavior Therapy
Explanation

Answer: C - Social workers use a model called person-in-environment, which looks at all the factors that affect behavior, including the environmental circumstances. In the case of a misbehaving child, understanding the environment in which they are misbehaving, including how the parent actually disciplines them, is a far better approach than viewing the child as “broken” because they misbehave.
