Define and describe the Generalist Perspective in Social Work.

Define and describe the Generalist Perspective in Social Work. Explain the history behind the general system theory, and how this theory is applied to social work. The unit or system(s) may be an individual, family, a small group, an organization, an agency, a community, or the transactions amongst these.
Generalist social work practice has three levels of intervention; please briefly describe these levels of social work: micro practice-working with individuals & families, mezzo -working with groups, and macro level-working with communities.
Describe & explain the role & duties of a generalist social work practitioner (such as a broker, advocate, counselor, teacher, and facilitator.)
List some public or private job settings that you will find generalist social work practitioners.
From the previous question, you will notice from your research that these jobs will require a bachelors degree, or perhaps even a masters degree; however, most of these jobs will also require the social worker to have therapeutic casework and or case management experience.
List some public or private agencies where you might find case managers and/ or case workers employed.

Engagement- the establishing of a working relationship (empathy)
Assessment-the gathering information to determine the presenting problem(s).
Intervention-plan of action (setting goals) & referrals & linkages, & lastly,
Evaluation-monitor & analyze interventions, & termination of services
