“…The interaction of these concepts has subsequently been conceptualized as representing a model of PCC in which five dimensions exist: (1) patient-as-person; (2) clinician-as-person; (3) shared power and responsibility; (4) therapeutic alliance; and (5) biopsychosocial model of health and illness (Mead & Bower, 2000). While the notion of PCC, including a reliance on the biopsychosocial model (Engel, 1977) is certainly not new to social workers (Johnson, Atkins, Battle, et al, 1990) there has been little attention paid to the ethical imperative that social workers have towards these tenets in their work with mental health consumers.…”

Psychiatric Advance Directives and Social Workers: An Integrative Review

Psychiatric Advance Directives (PADs) are legal documents that allow individuals to express their wishes for future psychiatric care and to authorize a legally appointed proxy to make decisions on their behalf during incapacitating crises. PADs are viewed as an alternative to the coercive interventions that sometimes accompany mental health crises for persons with mental illness. Insofar as coercive interventions can abridge clients' autonomy and self-determination --values supported by the Profession's Code of Ethics --social workers have a vested interest in finding ways to reduce coercion and increase autonomy and self-determination in their practice. However, PADs are also viewed as having the potential to positively affect a variety of other clinical outcomes, including but not limited to treatment engagement, treatment satisfaction, and working alliance. This article reviews the clinical and legal history of PADs and empirical evidence for their implementation and effectiveness. Despite what should be an inherent interest in PADs, and the fact that laws authorizing PADs have proliferated in the past decade, there is little theoretical or empirical research in the social work literature.

“…Several writers have argued for the expansion and enhancement of professional education addressing human biology (Johnson et al, 1990).

The field practicum is viewed by many social work educators and students as a cornerstone of social work education. Therefore, the accurate assessment of student readiness for, and performance in, field placement is critical. This article presents a comprehensive, biopsychosocial approach for effective gatekeeping and assessment of students in their field experiences. Case examples are used to illustrate the complexity of student evaluation and the variety of field consultant questions and intervention options. The accompanying discussion focuses on the resolution of field placement problems. Recommendations for effective field consultant assessment and intervention are included.

Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neuropsychiatric disorder that is often under-diagnosed and misdiagnosed in children because of the lack of education and awareness of the wide range of indicators and symptoms of the disorder. Through the use of a case study and review of the empirically based literature, this article aims to describe the etiology and symptomatology of the disorder using a biopsychosocial paradigm that informs clinical practice with children who have TS and their families.
