title: Discharge planning as a teaching mechanism.
abstract: A framework that organizes content into performance objectives is presented for planning field instruction and in-service education. Intended to overcome the polarization between concrete services and therapeutic intervention frequently seen within the profession, the objectives highlight the social work knowledge and skills inherent in discharge planning to encourage learners to appreciate this sometimes deprecated but increasingly important function.
