Clearly, there is no magical, 'how to' solution for social work students — the process that they must facilitate with clients is complex and dynamic. I expect students to stretch themselves, examine their beliefs and assumptions, and move beyond their present comfort zones of knowledge and intuition. I want my students to understand that they are part of a joint enterprise in which they learn critical skills and help create and not merely receive a body of knowledge.
