Discussion 1: Integrative Theories – A Correlation

The characteristics of culture, behavior, identity, and presenting issues are unique to each one of your clients. As result, it is unlikely that one social work or integrative theory will account for every aspect of your client’s situation. How might a variety of theories, when considered together, help you gain a richer understanding of your client? You have examined a variety of theories throughout this course. How might recognizing the potential correlations between theories affect the work you do with clients? How might those potential correlations help you better understand and incorporate a broader variety of theories in your practice?

For this Discussion, review the resources used throughout this course. Select a theory different from the one you chose for your final project.

o Post a brief description of the theory you selected.

o Then, explain any correlations you might draw between the theory examined here and the theory you selected for your final project.
