It provides us with the opportunity to apply knowledge learned in the classroom in the classroom to real world situations. This class offers a taste of future career opportunities.

  • The Frustration-Aggression Theory

    97 Words  | 1 Pages

    Social psychologists conclude that the frustration-aggression hypothesis remains tentative and that multiple factors may be associated with the expression of aggressive behavior. Critics of the frustration aggression theory point out that frustration does tend to lead to aggression in some circumstances but not always (Berkowitz, 1990). Theorists also suggested that a broader term than frustration should be used as the source of aggression because aggression can be elicited or instigated by other factors, such as the character and perceived intent of the instigator, personality factors and life experiences of the frustrated individual, and environmental conditions (Meyer,

There was many theories explained throughout this class but many will not be said because it wasn’t the main points that I was trying to get across. There are two tools that are used that can help a social worker organize a client’s life: Bubble map and Briefcase exercise. There are so many different ways a social worker can help a client deal with their problems and come up with a solution. It is up to that social worker to identify the client’s problem and see what theory fits.

The cornerstone of my BSW education was the systems theory mixed into the core competencies of social work. Systems theory was the first theory taught in all my undergraduate classes and frequently referenced throughout the entire program. My understanding of social work at the most basic level stems from the systems theory.

As interesting as the theories of social work are, my own personal experiences in the field have shaped my identity as a social worker much more directly than the theories and methods in the books ever
