Discuss how each branch of the strategic and systemic therapies (e.g., an MRI therapist, a Haley-style strategic therapist, a Madanes-style strategic therapist, and a Milan-style systemic therapist) would explain Tommy’s problem, how the problem developed, and which interventions might be used to treat Tommy and his family.

  • 3) who would benefit]

2. Explain why?[Here, you provide the research which supports your idea. In 1500 – 2000 words provide an analysis of the research in the chosen area. For example; if you want to develop a training package for front line workers such as housing officers would it reduce safer injecting facility, would it reduce drug related deaths (DRDs)? Ensure you include some data to support your idea. For the example here you could find data on DRDs (remember all data has its issues) Find the literature to support your ideas.

Assignment A: Annotated Bibliography

Before beginning this assignment, you need to choose a long-standing social issue or problem relevant to generalist social work practice. Your topic must be approved by the instructor prior to beginning your assignment. I will approve your topics in class on______. Once your topic has been approved, you will develop an annotated bibliography that addresses the following aspects of the social issue:

Description of the Problem
a. Problem definition/description
b. History of the problem
c. Etiology of the problem (causes and related factors)
d. Impact of the problem on diverse client systems
e. Competing points of view of the problem (what societal values, political ideologies, and social and economic conditions have impacted the framing of the problem?)

Description of Attempts to Resolve the Problem
1) Historically, what attempts (policies and programs) have been made to resolve the problem? What degree of success was achieved?
2) Currently, what attempts (policies and programs) are being made to resolve the problem? What degree of success has been achieved?

Implications for Generalist Social Work Practice
1) Historically, how were social workers involved in resolving the social problem (at a policy level)?
2) Currently, how are social workers involved in resolving the social problem (at a policy level)?
3) What are the implications for the delivery of generalist social work practice interventions?

The annotated bibliography must consist of at least 10 references, 8 of which must be articles from professional peer reviewed journals in social work or closely related disciplines. The remaining resources can be drawn from professional peer reviewed journals, books, and reliable internet resources. Of the 8 journal articles,

1) At least four articles from a professional peer reviewed journal that inform the description of the problem
2) At least two articles from a professional peer reviewed journal that inform the description of attempts to resolve the problem
3) At least two articles from a professional peer reviewed journal that inform the implications for generalist social work practice.

Each entry reference is to be in APA format and followed by two paragraphs that briefly describe the source’s contents (first paragraph) and importance to the chosen topic (second paragraph). The paragraphs must summarize the information in your own words and should not contain direct quotes. The entries (references) are to be in alphabetical order. For example:
Gibaja, M. G. de. (2001). An exploratory study of administrative practice in collaboratives.

Administration in Social Work, 25(2), 39-59.

The author reports the results of an exploratory qualitative study that investigated the application of “traditional” administrative functions and process to collaboration among organizations (as defined by Mattessich & Monsey, 1992). The study employed semi-structured interviews with 12 social workers employed as administrators in human service organizations located in Southern California. Data analysis resulted in the following themes: 1) relationship building, 2) participatory planning, 3) coordinating and sharing of tasks, 4) collective decision-making, 5) problem solving/conflict resolution, and 6) facilitative leadership. The author provides an informative discussion of the themes and their implications for administrative involvement in collaborative efforts. The findings and conclusions are consistent with the literature on collaboration, as well as leadership and administration.

This article is important to my topic because…

Snavely, K. & Tracy, M. B. (2000). Collaboration among rural nonprofit organizations. Nonprofit management & Leadership, 11(2), 154-165.
