Assignment: Cultural Competence

As with all areas of the social work process, cultural competence is essential when engaging and assessing a child’s concerns. Being culturally competent includes understanding the unique needs of your client and asking how those needs can be fulfilled. Using an empowerment perspective treating clients as experts on their lives and their needs is essential. Not only does this establish your commitment to being culturally sensitive and aware, but it will enhance the therapeutic relationship. While it is essential to learn and master social work skills and techniques to be a successful practitioner, another significant indicator of a successful intervention is the relationship a social worker builds with his or her client. Some research suggests that the quality of the therapeutic relationship will account for 30% of the clinical outcome of the treatment (Miller, Duncan, and Hubble, 2005, as stated in Walsh, 2010, p. 7). Exhibiting a dedication to learning about a client’s culture, history, and current environmental factors exemplifies a social worker’s desire to build that client–worker bond

Based on the work of Phillip Shaver and others, Baumeister and Bushman (2014) describe four types of adult attachment styles: secure, preoccupied, dismissing avoidant, and fearful avoidant. Research has identified that these attachment styles can be readily classified (Shaver, as cited in Baumeister & Bushman, 2014). In Robert Sternberg's (1986) triangular theory of love, he identifies seven types of adult love based on levels of three dimensions: passion, intimacy, and commitment.
