Social Learning, Exchange, and Behaviorism Theories in Social Work Practice
Why do you feel connected to some individuals and not others? What knowledge could you gain about an individual’s behavior that might draw you toward or away from that individual? An individual’s behavior often is influenced by prior learning, how that learning is processed, and the social context that contributed to the learning. By observing behavior, you can gain insight into how an individual thinks, which likely can help you identify if there is a benefit or a cost to interacting with an individual. These concepts are supported by behaviorism, social learning, and exchange theories. How might understanding these theories help you to identify the reasons for your clients’ behaviors? How might these theories apply to specific populations?
For this Discussion, review this week’s resources. Select one of the following theories: social learning theory, exchange theory, or behaviorism theory as the focus of this discussion. Then, select a specific population and think about how the theory you selected might contribute to social work practice with that population.

Discussion 2: Transpersonal Theory
Social work practice recognizes that there is more to being you than your physical self, your personal identity, and your intellect. Once the physiological and safety needs are met, why might some individuals still find themselves in need of guidance? The absence of basic physical needs is not the only concern that social workers help clients solve. Transpersonal theory speaks to the needs that individuals share as human beings, including love, creativity, belonging, meaning, and purpose. Understanding transpersonal theory prepares social workers to respond to presenting concerns that inhibit clients’ personal peace, empowerment, and self-esteem.
For this Discussion, review this week’s resources. Consider what it means to be a transpersonal social worker. Then, think about how transpersonal theory and your own belief system might affect your approach to social work practice. Finally, reflect on how you might help clients with belief systems that differ from your own.

Levy Family Episode 4Program Transcript
FEMALE SPEAKER: So do you want to try to go back to what you're telling me before?
LEVY: I can try. It was night. We were out on patrol. I remember it was so hot packed in our vehicle. Suddenly there was an explosion. We got tossed into a ditch. And somehow I made it out, and I could see it was the Humvee behind us. It's whole front end was gone. It had hit a roadside bomb. Our vehicle had just driven past it, just mistriggering it. But not them. They didn't make it.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Remember how we practiced. Slow your breathing down. Inhale and exhale from your abdomen.
LEVY: Thank you.
FEMALE SPEAKER: And just take your time. Whenever you are ready.
LEVY: So the bomb went off. I managed to get out. I had my night vision goggles on. And I could see the Humvee, the one that got hit. It's whole front end was gone. And there's this crater in the road. And inside it I could see--I could see Kurt's--our platoon Sergeant, he was lying there everything below his waist was gone, blown off. And he was screaming. Screaming like nothing you'd ever heard.
And then he was looking at me. And he was screaming for me to kill him. To stop his suffering. He was yelling, please. Please. And someone tried putting tourniquets on him. But the ground just kept getting darker with his blood. And I was staring into his face.
I had my rifle trained on him. I was going to do it. You know. He was begging me to. I could feel my finger on the trigger. And I kept looking into his face. And then I didn't have to do nothing. Because the screaming had stopped. He'd bled out. Died right there.
And all I could think was I'd let him down. His last request, and I couldn't do it. I couldn't put a bullet in him so he could die fast not slow.
FEMALE SPEAKER: I can see and hear how painful it is for you to relive this story. Thank you for sharing it. Do you think this incident is behind some of the symptoms you've been telling me about?
LEVY: When I go to sleep at night, I close my eyes, and I see Kurt's there staring at me. So I don't sleep too good. That's why I started drinking. It's the only way I

can forget about that night. So I drink too much. At least that's what my wife yells at me.
We're not doing too well these days. I'm not exactly the life of the party. I left Iraq 10 months ago. But Iraq never left me. I'm afraid it's never going to leave me alone.

Applying Integrative Theories
Theories can take on a deeper meaning when you examine them in the context of real clients and their experiences. For example, you might not see a purpose in exploring how the feminist perspective of social work practice applies to the experiences and presenting concerns of a war veteran, like Jake Levy from the Levy Family program case study. However, an exploration into transpersonal theory or cognitive behavioral theory, given Jake’s trauma from the war, might offer support for one aspect of his treatment plan. How might the integrative theories you explored recently inform your work with a client such as Jake Levy? How might you apply one of those theories to Jake’s presenting concerns?
For this Discussion, review the research you conducted on integrative theories over the last several weeks. Also, review the Levy Family video case in this week’s resources. Then, think about which theory you think best applies to the Levy Family video case and why.

Integrative Theories – A Correlation
The characteristics of culture, behavior, identity, and presenting issues are unique to each one of your clients. As result, it is unlikely that one social work or integrative theory will account for every aspect of your client’s situation. How might a variety of theories, when considered together, help you gain a richer understanding of your client? You have examined a variety of theories throughout this course. How might recognizing the potential correlations between theories affect the work you do with clients? How might those potential correlations help you better understand and incorporate a broader variety of theories in your practice?
For this Discussion, review the resources used throughout this course. Select a theory different from the one you chose for your final project.

The Role of Social Work Theory in Future Social Work Practice
Now that you have examined various theory types and theories that inform the basis of social work practice, what insights have you gained from that examination? How might you apply the knowledge you gained in this course to the next course you take? How might this knowledge inform your future social work practice? You began this course with an examination of theory types and what they meant in terms of how you use theory. Has exposure to specific theories over the last several weeks changed your perspective on the theory type that most appeals to you? If so, what has triggered that change? You might recall that some theories answer the question “why,” while others provide a framework for treatment, based on answers to the question “why”. What theory resonates with you most after a closer analysis of numerous social work and integrative theories? Does that theory coincide with the theory type that appealed to you in Week 1? How might the appeal of some theories and your ability to be flexible in understanding and applying them influence your social work practice?
For this Discussion, review this week’s resources. Think about the theories you examined in this course and consider any insights you gained as a result of examining them. Select the theory that most appeals to you and then reflect on the theory type you selected as being the most appealing in Week 1 (micro, meso, macro, scientific theory, perspective, paradigm, model, and ideology). If the theory you selected no longer aligns with the theory-type you selected in Week 1, think about why that might be the case. If the theory you select now is represented by the theory type you selected in Week 1, be prepared to defend why that theory type still appeals to you most. Finally, consider how your insights regarding the theories helped prepare you for your next course and your future social work practice.
