Engagement, Resistance And The Therapeutic Alliance In Regards To What Social Workers Do With Clients

ABSTRACT:
4 pages in length. One of the most challenging aspects of what social workers do with clients is to initially get them into the office, inasmuch as the engagement process inherently segues into resistance. A particularly good example of this resistance to engagement can be found when clients cancel or completely skip their first meeting because they are wholly unable to bring themselves to address the painful issues surrounding the daughter and baby. As tempted as some social workers might be to concede to the family's request that only some of the members actually show up for the session, to do so is to immediately surrender control as the professional and fail to gain the trust of any absent family members. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
