The Role of Social Work Theory in Future Social Work Practice
From a personal level of point the course has furnished with very important skills and information that I can utilize in the future in provision of better interventions to my patients. The social theory insight provides the limits and ethical boundaries that one should ensure they maintain in the professional day to day activities. Furthermore, the social work theories have enabled me to interrelate and connect the various functions and concepts that will be useful in developing an effective intervention for the patient (Cameron & Keenan, 2010). The theory that appealed most to me in evaluating and developing the intervention for Adolescents in a physical and psychological transitional stage between puberty and adult is the psychosocial development theory which was established by Erik Erikson. The theory provides the eight-stage presumption of identity and psychosocial development of human being. The theory provides that everyone must pass through eight stages of development over the life cycle which are hope, will, purpose, competence, fidelity, love, care, and wisdom which are all divided into stages with years hence bringing out the clear challenges and factor of adolescent and the transition to adulthood (Robbins, Chatterjee & Canda, 2012).
The psychosocial development theory is still my most appealing theory in the integrative theories of social work due to the fact the it provides the social worker with vast information that enable them to establish and generate a well strategized intervention for the patient in respect to the various stages of life (Robbins, Chatterjee & Canda, 2012). The theory covers all the life stages effectively and provides most of the information required by the social worker in developing an effective treatment approach. The information received from the diverse perspectives of this theory will help me in understanding human behaviors hence development of effective strategies that will embrace smoothly and systematically my next course and other social work practices (Cameron & Keenan, 2010).

Hello. How are you? Your post was very nice. Having a realistic understanding of psychosocial development can prepare the social worker for future endeavors. Psychosocial theory naturally focuses on the ways that individuals or clients are shaped by and react to their social environment. "[ Psychosocial Theory]... has incorporated new knowledge on gender and diversity. Assessment, the client–worker relationship, respect for diversity, and an appreciation of client strengths are fundamental to the psychosocial approach" (Goldstein, E. 2013).
