Towards a model social work curriculum for practice with the chronically mentally ill.
Social work is well-positioned to mount a major curriculum initiative focused on practice with the chronically mentally ill. The profession's historical legacy, conceptual compatibility with current service needs, and its significant contribution to practice and research are a firm base upon which to build. This paper suggests the content needed to adequately prepare future cadres of professionals and proposes a variety of curriculum strategies for organizing such content. In addition, attention is devoted to the preparation of management personnel.
