Week #9 Addition

I found an article on the subject of supervision and clinical mental health workers. This article explores the possiblity of enhancing the mental health worker's knowledge and measures their social functioning within the work environment using the Social Functioning Scale and the Krawiecka, Goldberg, and Vaughan Symptom Scale (KGV [M]). Below is the address for the abstract of this article.

I was afraid that I was not going to be able to find anything that was not medically related until I found this article on Field Instructor attachment in Social Work placements. The actual title of the article is "A conceptual application of attachment theory and research to the social work student-field instructor supervisory relationship". Authors are Bennett and Vitale Saks and was published in the Social Work Journal (2006). This article is about the different theories of attachment and their use within the field placement by the field instructor. I thought that this was an intriguing article since we are all currently experiencing our field placement relationships. This is an artile that every field instructor should read. It explores the attachment theories and habits of both the student and the field instructor. This is the link to the abstract of the article: http://web.ebscohost.com.proxy.ulib.iupui.edu/ehost/pdf?vid=18&hid=12&sid=202c00ce-9a20-4737-9893-04ed6af042e2%40sessionmgr7

I found another article about field supervision study and social work students. "Supervising students developmentally: evaluating a seminar for new field instructors" is the official title of the article found in the Journal of Social Work Education (2006). The authors of the study are Holtz-Deal and Clements. The article analyzes supervision methods of experienced field instructors and inexperienced field instructors. Interesting food for thought. Here is the link to the abstract:
