| dc.description.abstract | This paper is an overview of a field practicum experience at Family Service Saskatoon, an organization located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The paper provides an overview of the agency and the programs and services it offers, along with the goals and objectives for the practicum. The primary objective of the practicum placement focused on couple counselling. An overview of conducting couple counselling is presented along with a literature review exploring aspects of living in relationship that positively support a healthy couple relationship. The integration of social work practice and theory will be evident in the discussions. Attachment theory, emotionally focused therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and feminist theory are the primary theories addressed. The paper also incorporates an overview of the secondary activities conducted throughout the practicum including group work, presentations and a project. The types of clients served, the social conditions addressed and relevant research are discussed along with the new knowledge acquired and the challenges experienced. The paper concludes with my vision as to how I plan to contribute to the social work profession. | en_US |
