sample_M2.docxIn social work point of view, theory-practice is an ability which let you to draw or gives a framework of the circumstance at work spot. As indicated by Payne, "Theory and practice resemble a bond which builds information and can be advanced when it’s expected to impact one another” (2014, p.3). Theories and professional practice are not different from each other and moreover, they are known as social work practice even recommended by other theorists (Healy,2014, p.111). My discussion will focus on how theory-practice is helping any social worker to understand any situation from social work perspective, and I will also have my words on one of the theory-practices which is Cognitive Behavioural Practice that appeals to me.
In this Cognitive Behavioural Practice, the social workers aim at teaching people how to perceive conditions of which based on their behaviour may elicit unwanted reactions towards the situations. We find that sometimes when somebody is suffering, he or she may perceive situations differently and in a bad way. This usually makes them react inappropriately towards the situation which even may worsen the condition. It, therefore, becomes very difficult for them to understand the sources of their problems.
According to Payne (2014), this practice aims at helping people address problems that face them, for example, social phobia, depression, as well as anxiety. It is attributed to the behavioural part. On the other hand, this practice also helps in addressing such problems that are as a result of people think which affects their behaviours.
With this, I find that this practice is so far the best as it plays a vital role in the social work perspective. It happens that many people do not live good lives as a result of the environment that they live in. This has even resulted in much larger complications in that they do not look for better solutions but rather make it very difficult to handle their situations. With the practices that have been outlined here, I find that these are the best practices since they bring a ray of hope to restoring an individual's way of reasoning, the way of learning as well as the way of conceiving the environment.
Looking at its applicability is equally wide, looking at it is very important to restructure cognitively the beliefs of people. Where people are not able to interact well with others, through well planned social learning mechanisms, such people are able to recognize the importance of being around other people. This is even applicable in clinical settings. There are specific ways the supervision, as well as the training, are done in clinical settings and thus adding more weight to the importance this cognitive behaviours practice has.
Hence looking at all the above-stated reasons, this practice is the most appealing to me, it gives a second chance to the lives of other people to have a different and positive view of situations that are surrounding them and make them think on a positive path rather than adding difficulty to an already difficult situation.
