Module 3 Philosophy, Principles & Components of Social Case Work Ref

Social case work has core philosophical assumptions and principles that guide individualized help. The principles include dignity, self-determination, and a set of commitments emerging from philosophical assumptions. Social case work aims to respect the client's potential for self-determination and ability to identify resources through individualization, confidentiality, accepting the client, and having controlled emotional involvement. The components of social case work emerged from Helen Perlman's problem-solving model and portray active elements in case work practice.
