Dual Relationships In Social Work

With working relationships you have clear boundaries and policies and procedures in place that you must follow. You must follow the code of conduct. You are involved with the certain people for a reason and you cannot choose these relationships.

There was such a variety of topics covered in this course and I wish that I had taken it in a classroom instead of online. With this online course, I feel like the material went a little too quickly. If I were in a classroom setting, I feel that

I honestly was expecting to get an A on this class as it seemed an easy one. I have been able to keep a perfect score since I started school a couple of years ago but unfortunately my life got complicated when I accepted the job I have, which recently demanded a lot more traveling, not to mention that I am in the process of start a new business after purchasing a retail store a couple of months ago.

When I first started this class, I did not expect to learn as much as I did. My sister took the online version of this class and she told me that she barely put an effort in the class to get a good grade. I feel like that is the opposite reaction in my own experience. I think I put lot of effort into this class, but at the same time I did learn a lot from it. I even use the material from this class to do a whole new research paper on the different class because I feel like this class content is very interesting.

According to Galambos et al. (2006, p. 2), the management of dual relationships within social work has the potential to trigger many challenges that affect professional borderlines. These issues are more prevalent in rural settings and small communities where dual as well as multiple relations exist because of compact systems. Consequently, one common issue that is likely to arise during social service is the capacity to sustain clients’ privacy and confidentiality (Galambos, Watt and Anderson 2). Citing previous literature on the topic, the authors note that it is hard to get absolute confidentiality in rural environments. Subsequently, ethical conflicts become common between the duty of a practitioner to their client and their obligation

Before taking this course I was really excited about what I am going to learn. And I was right! This course is not only interesting but it is also helpful. I have learned that the grade I am having right now is the reflection of my try throughout the entire semester.

From day one, I noticed the relative ease of the course. The two friendly instructors welcomed the entire class, and they presented the material in a simple and comprehensible manner. My seven classmates and I bonded immediately. I recall

As a social worker, there are obligations you should abide by in the field of practice. Dual relationships should among the client and the social worker should never take place in the field of practice. The NASW Code of Ethics, section 2.07 states, social workers who decides to engage in sexual intercourse with their client’s, will suffered many consequences for their actions. (NASW Assembly, 2008).

A working relationship is different to a personal relationship as in a working relationship there are specific rules and guidelines which are to be adhered to at all times. There are no emotional attachments.Different working relationships in social care settings can vary from housekeeping through to general manger. The housekeeping staff interact with the residents minimally but interact greatly with the carers. The carers interact greatly with the residents but infrequently with the laundry team. The senior would interact frequently with the unit Nurse but infrequently with the unit manager.It is important to adhere to the agreed scope of the job role as there are plans set out for each individual person according to their abilities, religion,

I was right; the class was incredibly challenging. I had had a subpar general chemistry course in my sophomore year, so there were many basic concepts that I did not understand. I realized that I would have to work a lot harder in this class than

i agree i think it is very fundamental it will really help us out this week and though out other class. yes learning to adapt your learning skills to a different type of learn can be difficult sometimes specially when you are use to learning a certain type of way. i found it difficult to change the way i learned at first but once i caught on it was very easy to learn. i find learning online is easier then in a actual class room.

I think that this course was scheduled very well and taking a course in under two weeks has definitely been a struggle at times trying to retain so much information yet staying focused on one course at a time is nice. As far as improvements to make this course better, I can not think of anything that I would change to make it better. This is my fourth online course to take through Blinn Community College and I would say that this is the best paced course and most interesting course I have taken so far.

Professional boundaries act as guidelines principles for many defining principles which help us act professionally in our respective fields. These boundary issues appear when social workers are made to face situations entailing conflict of interest. Such conflicts appear when the social workers have multiple relationships with the clients. Similar situation may arise with the colleagues as well. Assumption of second relationship other than the professional one with the client and colleague is what leads to emergence of ethical issues related to professional boundaries.

The social worker in this case study worked at the ABC Children’s Wellness Center. An ESL teacher at a local elementary school referred Juan S. to her. Juan came to the center with his mother, Silvia.

Mahler’s separation-individuation, object relations, and attachment theory are significant elements in social work, because emphasis focused the dynamics of clients past and current relationships (Goldstein, 1995). This is also helpful in providing clients biopsychosocial which looks at person-in-environment, helpful in identifying patterns that may have altered and cause shift in clients behaviors, such as; losing focus of things that meant something to them, and sense of self, and this provides substance for growth in the working relationship (Goldstein, 1995).
