“…This perspective is specifically connected to social work because the profession is inherently concerned with an individual (biological, spiritual, and psychological factors) in the social (environmental) perspective. Dynamic interpersonal, physiological, and psychological systems interact with the contextual factors to shape an individual over their life span ( Harkness, 2011 ; Lehman et al, 2017 ).…”

This article explains the integrated implementation of a COVID-19 Feminist Framework (CFF) and biopsychosocial-spiritual perspective (BPSS-P) on the inclusive equitability of social service providers, practitioners, and policy-developers on global platforms. Mechanisms of CFF and BPSS-P entail the process to address/mitigate institutional inequities, mental health issues, violation of human rights, race/sex/gender-based violence, abuse, and trauma amid COVID-19. This discourse is about raising consciousness, collective liberation, wellbeing, and equality for women, children, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and gender-diverse people. This article further discusses social workers and mental health practitioners’ uniqueness for short-term and long-term support for emotional, cognitive-behavioral, and psychosocial repercussions on the individual and community levels.

“…In scientific discourse in the field of social work, there is an active debate on the development of suitable concepts and methods for case analyses (Buttner, Gahleitner, Hochuli Freund, & Röh, 2018;Gahleitner, Hahn, & Glemser, 2012). Some empirical studies on diagnostics in social work are available in the English-language literature, especially with regard to quantitative research in the areas of clinical social work (Harkness, 2011;Haunberger, Rüegger, & Baumgartner, 2019;Ishibashi, 2005) and child protection (e.g., Helm, 2011;Thomas & Holland, 2010). In contrast, in the German-language literature, only few empirical studies are available on diagnostics in social work in the area of public health (Gautschi & Rüegger, 2012;Hanses, 2002;Hüttemann, 2008;Wyssen-Kaufmann, 2015) and child protection (Becker-Lenz, Gautschi, & Rüegger, 2017;Rüegger, 2017).…”

When a child is diagnosed with cancer, there can be serious consequences for the entire family. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between social counseling based on different social diagnostic methods and parent’s quality of life, psychosocial burden, and sense of coherence. Seventy-one parents of children with cancer were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups and were interviewed at three measurement times. Analysis of covariance was used for the data analysis. With respect to the effects of social counseling based on different social diagnostic methods, the results are somewhat mixed. We found only few significant effects between the intervention and control groups but a significant influence of moderating variables like the child’s health status. There were significant changes in parent’s quality of life and psychosocial burden, but the findings provided no evidence that one social diagnostic method works better than the other one. Methodological reasons concerning sample size and program integrity are discussed.

“…Qualifications for clinical registration for social workers in British Columbia and Alberta include: holding a master's or doctoral degree in social work; 3,000 and 1,600 hours, respectively, of supervised clinical and social work experience; and a clinical examination (Alberta College of Social Workers 2015; British Columbia College of Social Workers 2013). Diagnosis of mental health disorders by social workers is more common in the United States, where clinical social work is the largest provider of mental health services (Harkness 2011). Clinical social work in the United States is state-regulated, thus the requirements vary by state.…”
