BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL ASSESSMENT

Bio-psycho-social-spiritual Assessment: A template that must be used is provided under the forms and resources page in canvas. SWI will use critical thinking and social work assessment skills to identify and analyze bio-psycho-social-spiritual factors in a practicum client case or on another person that they are able to assess. The key skills you will be asked to use and demonstrate in your paper are the following: Critical thinking skills enable you to distinguish between your own preconceived ideas and beliefs, and knowledge that you have gained from systematic inquiry and thinking; skills in applying the bio-psychosocial framework to a problematic life space allow you to gather comprehensive data concerning biological, psychological and social factors, and their interactions, as the basis of social work assessment; skill in seeing and specifying key problems in a life space in terms of the problems in fit between the needs and capacity of the individual(s) and the demands and opportunities of the environment allows you to complete a social work assessment that captures the transactional nature of person-in-environment reality and the skill of self-awareness in the context of your professional work allows you to identify and better manage the normal emotional reactions and value judgments you bring to the problematic life-space, which can color what and how you see that life-space Please carefully follow the outline found under the Forms and Resources page on Canvas in writing your final paper. Include a Genogram of at least 3 generations and an Eco-Map. For the genogram, you must use www.genopro.com which is free for 15 days. (NOTE: if you have a Macintosh computer, genopro will not work and you may use smartdraw software [which is free at smartdraw.com] or you may create one in Microsoft Word.) This information, however, is not provided in the description of the assignment, must include a title and legend for your genogram for full points. You must copy and paste the genogram and eco-map into the last two pages of the bio-psychosocial assessment for full points.
