iii. Philosophical Assumptions and Values of Social Casework (Grace Mathew, 1992: 7 -8) • "assumptions" means basic and vital philosophical concepts in social work which cannot be empirically proved • values are philosophical assumptions • Philosophical means generated out of collective thinking in response to fundamental questions, like • What is the worth of a human being? • Can he live for himself or does he have any duty towards his fellow human beings? • What is the purpose of human life? • 22 -01 -2022 13: 17: 04 Method 1: Social Casework 3
iii. Philosophical Assumptions and Values of Social Casework (Grace Mathew, 1992: 7 -8) • Philosophical values constitute the core beliefs for social work. • These values add motivation for their social work • Without these values, people pursue MSW just for getting a post-graduate degree rather than a desire to help people. • Non-acceptance of these values is untenable and a social work career is not meant for them. 22 -01 -2022 13: 17: 05 Method 1: Social Casework 4
iii. Philosophical Assumptions and Values of Social Casework (Grace Mathew, 1992: 7 -8) l. Every human being has to be considered as a person with dignity and worth. 2. Human beings are interdependent. The condition of interdependence indicates that there is a right-duty matrix which governs human interactions in social groups. 22 -01 -2022 13: 17: 05 Method 1: Social Casework 5
iii. Philosophical Assumptions 3. There are common human needs that need to be met for growth and development of individuals. The existence of common needs does not negate the uniqueness of the individual. Every individual is like all other human beings in some aspects, like some other human beings in some other aspects and like no other individual in certain aspects. 22 -01 -2022 13: 17: 06 Method 1: Social Casework 6
iii. Philosophical Assumptions 4. Every individual has within him/her, the potential for growth and achievement and s/he has a right to the realisation of this potential. From this, it follows that people have the capacity to change. 5. Society has an obligation to help those who do not have the means for the realisation of their potentials. 22 -01 -2022 13: 17: 07 Method 1: Social Casework 7

Perlman, 1957: 4 -5 • The ‘person’ is a man, woman or child, anyone who finds himself, or is found to be in need of help in some aspect of his social-emotional living, whether the need be for tangible provisions or counsel. • As he begins to receive such help, he is called a client. 22 -01 -2022 13: 17: 28 Method 1: Social Casework 24
Perlman, 1957: 4 -5 The ‘problem’ arises from some need or obstacle or accumulation of frustrations or maladjustment, and sometimes all of these together, which threatens or has already attacked the adequacy of the person’s living situation or the effectiveness of his efforts to deal with it. 22 -01 -2022 13: 17: 29 Method 1: Social Casework 25
Perlman, 1957: 4 -5 • The ‘place’ is a social service agency or a social service department of another kind of human welfare agency. • It has a professional to assist the person with the problem 22 -01 -2022 13: 17: 31 Method 1: Social Casework 26
Perlman, 1957: 4 -5 • The ‘process’ is a progressive transaction between the professional help (the caseworker) and the client. • It consists of a series of problem -solving operations carried on within a meaningful relationship. 22 -01 -2022 13: 17: 36 Method 1: Social Casework 27
Perlman, 1957: 4 -5 • The end of this process is continued in its means; to so influence the client person that he develops effectiveness in coping with this problem and / or to so influence the problem as to resolve it or vitiate its effects’ (Helen Harris Perlman, 1957: 4 -5). 22 -01 -2022 13: 17: 39 Method 1: Social Casework 28
2. ii. a. Components of casework: Person • The person’s behaviour has this purpose and meaning: to gain satisfactions, to avoid or dissolve frustration, and to maintain his balance-in-movement. 22 -01 -2022 13: 17: 42 Method 1: Social Casework 29
2. ii. a. Components of casework: Person • Whether a person’s behaviour is or is not effective in promoting his well-being depends in large part upon the functioning of his personality structure. 22 -01 -2022 13: 17: 43 Method 1: Social Casework 30
2. ii. a. Components of casework: Person • The structure and functioning of personality are the products of inherited and constitutional equipment in continuous interaction with the physical, psychological, and social environment the person experiences. 22 -01 -2022 13: 17: 44 Method 1: Social Casework 31
2. ii. a. Components of casework: Person • A person at any stage of his life not only is a product of nature and nurture but is also and always in process of being in the present and becoming in the future. 22 -01 -2022 13: 17: 47 Method 1: Social Casework 32
2. ii. a. Components of casework: Person • A person’s being and becoming behaviour is both shaped and judged by the expectations he and his culture have invested in the status and the major roles he carries. • The person who comes as client to a social agency is always under stress. 22 -01 -2022 13: 17: 47 Method 1: Social Casework 33
2. ii. b. Components of casework: Problem • The problems within the purview of social casework are those which vitally affect or are affected by a person’s social functioning. 22 -01 -2022 13: 17: 53 Method 1: Social Casework 34
2. ii. b. Components of casework: Problem • The multifaceted and dynamic nature of the client’s problem makes necessary the selection by case worker and client of some of it as the unit for work. 22 -01 -2022 13: 17: 55 Method 1: Social Casework 35
2. ii. b. Components of casework: Problem • Problems in any part of a human being’s living tend to have chain reactions. 22 -01 -2022 13: 17: 57 Method 1: Social Casework 36
2. ii. b. Components of casework: Problem • Any problem which a person encounters has both an objective and a subjective significance. 22 -01 -2022 13: 17: 58 Method 1: Social Casework 37
2. ii. b. Components of casework: Problem • Not only do the external (objective) and internal (subjective) aspects of the problem co-exist, but either one may be cause of the other. 22 -01 -2022 13: 17: 58 Method 1: Social Casework 38
2. ii. b. Components of casework: Problem • Whatever the nature of the problem the person brings to the social agency, it is always accompanied, and often complicated, by the problem of being a client. 22 -01 -2022 13: 18: 03 Method 1: Social Casework 39
2. ii. c. Components of casework: Place • The social agency is an organisation fashioned to express the will of a society or of some group in that society as to social welfare. 22 -01 -2022 13: 18: 06 Method 1: Social Casework 40

2. ii. d. Components of casework: Process • The conclusion the process leads to stating what the trouble seems to be, how it is related to the client’s goals, what means the agency, the caseworker and the client himself can bring to bear upon the trouble these conclusions are the diagnostic products. • Diagnosis, if it is to be anything more than an intellectual exercise, must result in a design for action. It is the reflective thinking which shapes the problem solving work 22 -01 -2022 13: 18: 31 Method 1: Social Casework 49
2. ii. d. Components of casework: Process • ‘All competent problem solving, as contrasted with trial and error method, contains three essential operations. • (i) The facts that constitute and bear upon the problem must be ascertained and grasped.

2. ii. d. Components of casework: Process • (ii) The facts must be thought about. The facts must be played upon and organised by ideas springing from knowledge and experience and subject to the governing aim of problem resolution. 22 -01 -2022 13: 18: 33 Method 1: Social Casework 51
2. ii. d. Components of casework: Process • (iii) Some choice or decision must be made, that is, the end result of the consideration of the particular facts, and that affects or has the intent of resolving the problem. 22 -01 -2022 13: 18: 34 Method 1: Social Casework 52
2. ii. d. Components of casework: Process • Such a decision may take the form of the selection of a course of overt action or more subtly of some change in the person’s responsive relationship to the problem. 22 -01 -2022 13: 18: 36 Method 1: Social Casework 53
2. ii. d. Components of casework: Process • Either conclusion must be tested for its validity by some action upon the problems by some different attack upon it or by some changed internal or overt behaviour in relation to it. 22 -01 -2022 13: 18: 37 Method 1: Social Casework 54
2. ii. d. Components of casework: Process • ‘Finally, for the solution of mitigation of many problems, there must exist certain material means of accessible opportunities which are available to the needful and which he can be helped to use. 22 -01 -2022 13: 18: 39 Method 1: Social Casework 55
