| Summary: | Social workers are compelled by their Code of Ethics to uphold the dignity and worth of every person and to challenge injustice where they see its occurrence. In working with LGBTQ persons, Mark Gianino, PhD MSW, encourages social workers to move beyond mere tolerance, and toward an integration of knowledge, skills assessment and intervention as well as advocacy within agencies and beyond. In two demonstration sessions featuring the same client, we first see Mark display a lack of awareness and skills when working with his client, who identifies as gender queer. This 'blooper' session is followed by a second, corrected, 'best practices' session where the original mistakes are averted, and an affirmative approach is shown. Mark Gianino is Clinical Associate Professor of Clinical Practice at Boston University's School of Social Work. His research interests include gay and lesbian parenthood, transracial adoption, suicide assessment and intervention, and education and training in group work. Dr. Gianino has worked for over 30 years as as a clinician, supervisor, and administrator in outpatient and inpatient mental health settings as well as group and independent private practice. |
