Theory III: Conceptual and Theoretical Model Development

The purpose of this course is to develop skills in conceptualizing latent constructs related to social work research and practice that impact the lives of clients we serve and the systems we navigate. Students will learn how to create constructs that reflect new innovations in theoretical and model construction that advance their substantive areas. In addition, students will learn to develop casual conceptual models related to their substantive area of development that provide a theoretical explanation detailing the potential and casual linkages between various social and psychological factors specific to the person and their environment
