Review the values of the profession and think about what personal values are a good fit and what personal values might be in conflict with professional values. This portion of the paper should address that part of social work practice that you believe to be the most difficult for you to perform. A central part of the paper should be a candid, open examination of how your own perceptions, attitudes, values, experiences, emotions, and stereotypes may influence your ability to perform a particular aspect of social work practice. Refer to the Code of Ethics and list at least two codes that are involved in your plan. After thoroughly defining and describing the practice aspect you selected, examine the roots of your perceived difficulty both by reviewing your own involvement and by reviewing the salient professional literature on the subject. The final sec on should be a thoughtful description of the personal plan you have devised to address this perceived deficit in your professional repertoire (while in the SW program). Among examples discussed in class are topics such as: Clients who evoke images from one’s past (transference); parents, adolescence, siblings, peers, childhood etc. Special populations: handicapped, gay/lesbian/transgendered, aged, mandated, women, children, ethnic minorities, elderly, etc. Difficult populations: ex-offenders, abusers, neglectful or abusive parents, child molesters, active substance abusers, etc. Others you may desire to select (Please discuss these with me prior to doing this assignment). Resistance to engagement: open/subtle hostility from clients Cultural variance of clients and workers: race, status, political, sexual expression differences etc. Note: Write in the first person and it may be helpful to include a personal dimension of how this problem/ situation may have somehow touched your life. Please keep healthy professional boundaries and monitor your own well-being carefully. The usually accepted standards of written academic work should apply to this paper including structure, grammar, format, organization, clarity, and originality. The paper should be 1-2 pages in length and use APA guidelines for formatting.
