Real World Clinical Social Work Quotes

“It is a solid commitment to the recognition that people essentially do what they have to with what they have, and that given more, more will be done.”
― Danna R. Bodenheimer, Real World Clinical Social Work: Find Your Voice and Find Your Way

“​•  ​What do I believe makes people unwell? ​•  ​How long do I think the process of achieving wellness takes? ​•  ​Is wellness a reasonable treatment goal? And if so, what is wellness? ​•  ​Do I have to go through someone’s past to get to make sense of their present? ​•  ​Am I in the business of symptom management or symptom relief? ​•  ​Do I believe in practicing with a sense of orthodoxy or with a sense of eclecticism? ​•  ​What does case conceptualization mean to me? The answers to these questions, individual to all of us, are threaded into the theoretical weave that substantiates the design of clinical social work.”
